Ajinkya Kaware, Prof. U.R.Awari, Prof. M.R.Wakchaure

Bamboo being a grass and botanically belongs to family “Poaceae”. It completes its growth within monthâ�?�?s time and gets mature within 3 years. In Maharashtra it is commonly named as “velu”. Species of bamboo change as per topography and climatic conditions. It has good tensile and compression strength. As per review dendrocalamus strictus, bambusa vulgaris schard are species of bamboo which has highest value of tensile and compression strength. Problems faced in using bamboo as construction material are water absorption and moisture content. To avoid this problems proper seasoning or treatment should be given to bamboo. In this paper test results on mechanical, physical properties as well a bamboo reinforced column & beams are reviewed
