In the article
“Building with Bamboo”, Ghavami and García (2017) state that the usage of
bamboo has benefits to resolve various problems associated with the constant
growth of world population. Moreover, incorporating bamboo in construction
reduces energy consumption, environmental pollution and conservation of the
world's scarce resources.
The article also
mentioned that bamboo forests not only play a major role to control water
cycles, reduce erosion and carbon from the atmosphere but also act as a readily
accessible material for communities to resolve housing issues.
The usage of bamboos
in construction will improve farmers economically as they are able to develop
bamboo plantations and make use of the bamboo shoots for their everyday lives.
Despite the fact that
bamboo has been demonstrated the most promising building fabric, engineers
avoid its usage as it requires further research and development.
