About this project
Design and Fabrication of Earthquake-Resistant Low-Cost Bamboo-Reinforced Concrete Housing Prototype

Objective: To develop and validate a cost-effective bamboo-reinforced concrete housing solution with enhanced earthquake resistance for vulnerable rural and semi-urban communities in India.

India's rural and earthquake-prone regions often face devastation due to poor-quality, non-engineered, and expensive housing that fails under seismic loads, leaving millions vulnerable to displacement and loss.

This project proposes an innovative structural design for low-cost housing using locally available bamboo as reinforcement within concrete elements, replacing partial steel reinforcement to reduce costs and improve ductility against earthquakes. The approach includes a comparative study with IS 456:2000 and IS 13920:2016 standards, design optimization, and prototype fabrication.

Key deliverables include: a detailed material selection and design report, construction of a scaled housing prototype with bamboo-reinforced beams and columns, experimental shake-table tests simulating seismic loads, cost analysis versus conventional RCC, and a live demonstration of structural performance.

The project addresses the housing gap for low-income families, promoting sustainable construction, reducing reliance on steel, and offering a scalable model for disaster-resilient rural and peri-urban housing in India.
