Bamboo Reinforcement

The flexural behavior of concrete beams reinforced with bamboo was studied experimentally. Bamboo was used as the main reinforcement with different bonding materials in place of steel. A nominal mix of M20 grade concrete was adopted for the beam design. The Bamboo surface was treated with common binding materials like Araldite and Bitumen. Araldite and Bitumen are good binding materials used to connect materials like steel, carbon and many different materials. Two specimens were casted with bitumen coating, two specimens were coated with araldite, two specimens were casted without any binder coating and a specimen was casted using normal steel reinforcement. Beams were casted with bamboo reinforcement and cured for 28 days. Deflection and flexural behavior of the beams were monitored. The test results imply that araldite coating in concrete beams with bamboo reinforcement increased the flexural strength to that of bamboo reinforced concrete using bitumen which is lesser strength to that of steel reinforced concrete beam.

Beam Design

Most computer programs developed for reinforced concrete beam design either analyze a given cross section for load capacity or offer a limited solution from which the engineer must continue toward the final design. These programs are very useful in performing many tedious calculations. However, they generally do not offer assistance in areas of design that require intuitive reasoning, experiential knowledge, rules of thumb, and sound engineering judgement. This type of heuristic knowledge has been incorporated into a prototype knowledge-based expert system for reinforced concrete beam design and detailing called BeamEx. BeamEx interacts with the user to advise and establish suitable parameters required for the comprehensive design of rectangular simply supported and continuous beams. It incorporates heuristic rules drawn from the governing Canadian codes and textbooks to design alternative suitable beams which are presented in graphical form. It is shown that a knowledge-based system approach can be used effectively in engineering design by encapsulating domain expertise in a program to complement and check the experience of the users in design. Key words: knowledge-based expert system, reinforced concrete, beams, design, detailing.
