Abstract

Rural Road connectivity is a key component of rural development, since it promotes access to economic and social services, thereby generating increased agricultural productivity, non-agriculture, employment as well as non-agricultural productivity, which in turn expands rural growth opportunities and real income through which poverty can be reduced. Recently, in the attention in response to global warming issues and sustainable society, the manufacturing using natural materials has become active. Present day construction works use concrete as a basic material. To achieve Tensile strength, Steel is used as reinforcement because concrete is Brittle in tensile strength. Most commonly encountered problems in Steel are corrosive, expensive, etc. Therefore, studies are going on to use Bamboo as reinforcement in concrete and as a structural material because of its beneficial characteristics. Some of the fibers that can use in production of Fiber Reinforced Concrete (FRC) are Aluminum, Coir, Jute, Carbon, Steel, etc. The Bamboo fibers are also used in concrete as a natural fiber to produce Bamboo Fibers Reinforced Concrete (BFRC) to impart some desirable properties to concrete. The mixing of small, closely spaced and evenly distributed fibers to concrete avoids cracking and significantly develop the Cracking arrestors, Impact strength, Tensile strength, Fatigue resistance, and Wear and Tear. This has been proved. The concrete Ductility is augmented by mixing of fibers. Bamboo is a multipurpose reserve categorized by a large ratio of strength to weight and its ease of work with simple tools. So Rural Cement Concrete road can be constructed with the use of the bamboo fiber and according to so many favorable mechanical property of the bamboo fiber, we canuse of bamboo fiber in rural road construction and increase the strength of road and increase the durability.
