Design and developement of light weight structure by using renewable material

civil engineering

Due to terrific growth in population all over India, there is increase in demand for buildings to provide adequate shelter for people. Because of this reason, there is increase in concrete structures and other type of structure such as a light weight structure, wooden structure, composite structure etc. But the concrete structures are very heavy as compared to wooden structure. So these concrete structures can be replaced by wooden composites materials and agricultural residues such as Saw Dust, Rice Husk, Coconut Husk , Jute etc. The implementation of new technology is necessary for waste material being efficiently& effectively utilized as sustainable resources in the industry. The application of bamboo as a constructional material, is fast growing and ecologically friendly in construction industry & considered as quite appropriate. Bamboo panels can provide solution to the eco- housing activities at cheaper costs. A composite from agricultural residues reduces the carbon emission, which is major gas contributing to the global warming through greenhouse effect. These composites will help to decreases the pressure over the forests for wood recourses.
