Bamboo is an alternative to steel reinforcement in concrete since it is a plant that is easily accessible in many places and one of the quickest growing plants. Aside from being environmentally benign, bamboo is superior to steel in terms of corrosion resistance. Bending tests were performed on bamboo as concrete reinforcement to measure the deflection that occurred in this study. As guides, 200 mm x 150 mm 3000 mm concrete beams with Buluhpring type bamboo reinforcement were employed, as were 10 mm diameter steel reinforcement concrete beam test samples. Following 28 days, the concrete block samples were evaluated using a Universal Testing Machine (UTM). According to the test results, the average deflection value in bamboo-reinforced concrete beams is 35.31 mm and 42.28 mm in steel-reinforced concrete beams. When bamboo-reinforced concrete beams have a deflection value of 83% of the maximum deflection value of steel-reinforced concrete beams, the results suggest that they have good ductility. ## Keywords - Bamboo - Flexural strength - Reinforcement - Beam (structure) - Structural engineering - Materials science - Composite material - Engineering --- Sumber: Discover Unhas — RIMS Universitas Hasanuddin.
