Preamble
A major portion of our country lives in villages; and
people still are living in houses which do not meet safety
criteria to the fullest. Low Income Group people are not
much capable as well to get a good RCC framed house, as
it costs much. All these issues can be avoided if we try to
utilise locally available materials and make a properly
engineered house by utilising the same. Bamboo is
abundantly available in India and has the huge potential
with 14 million hectares of bamboo forest area. India is
the second largest country in terms of bamboo resources.
Bamboo products (bamboo boards, bamboo veneers,
bamboo mat corrugated roofing sheets, etc) due to their
physical and mechanical performance in terms of
hardness, stability and strength are gaining attention with
large opportunities in emerging market. Many of the
traditional architectural styles use Bamboo as one of the
major constituent. New technologies on jointing,
protection and preservation of bamboo has been
developed which has increased its durability and quality
and opened new areas for bamboo as wood substitute.
Traditional bamboo culm used in rural housing can now
be transformed into new and innovative bamboo based
products with latest technology and can be used in top
grade houses in roofing, flooring, doors, windows, etc.
Many organisations in our country are working for the
promotion of Bamboo, yet many steps need to be taken to
make a sustainable growth in the required section.
Workshop Content
The workshop aims to share the experiences of experts,
researchers and professionals working in this area with
focus on advanced practices and techniques on the
following;
Bamboo species characterisation for use as structure
members in building/housing
Design of bamboo structures including strength of
joints
Design & construction of Bamboo structures in India
& Abroad
Bamboo as building materials & components
Treatment of bamboo for fire, termite & moisture
resistance
R&D, testing & design facilities in India
The endeavour of this workshop is also to discuss case
studies in conjunction with sustainability & economy
covering social aspects as well.
Faculty
The experts from various organizations working into the
field of utilisation of Bamboo as a building material, such as
State Bamboo development agencies, BMTPC Delhi and
CBTC Guwahati, and various other agencies & industries
dealing in the areas will deliver lectures with case studies
during Technical Sessions.
