Abstract
Bamboo fiber is the type of natural fiber obtained from true wood bamboo with high strength to weight ratio useful for building structures. On the other hand, the super plasticizer is used where well-dispersed particle suspension isrequired to improve the flow characteristics interruption in the concrete application there by reduction of the water to cement ratio without negatively affecting the concrete performance of mix preparation. The primary intention was to make eco-friendly concrete using bamboo fibers and superplasticizer admixture (SP’s). In this research, bamboo fibers mix with a superplasticizer in concrete. Mix design was used C-25 grade. The source of data, technical compatibility exploration of concrete workability, strengths, water absorption were done in Arba Minch University, institutes of technology, department of civil engineering laboratory. Results obtained from technical data by varying the percentage of bamboo fibers from 0.5% to 1.5% concrete performance tests were performed. The test results have shown that a decrease in workability, compressive strength, and an increased water absorption. However, the addition of superplasticizers admixture leads to improving the flexural strength and reducing the cracking size of concrete. The study suggested that required evaluating the durability of concrete increases with bamboo fibers at different percentages of superplasticizer admixtures
