STUDY AND APPLICATION OF AN ANCORAGING METHOD BETWEEN BAMBOO AND CONCRETE FOR SLAB WITH ADDITION OF PET AND BAMBOO

Abstract

The anchoring of reinforcement in concrete is fundamental for the elements to work together, enabling the full transfer of the applicant efforts, this means that there should be no slip between the concrete and its reinforcement. This study aimed to apply an efficient method to increase anchorage and adherence between bamboo and concrete. Based on ABNT NBR 6118:2014, has developed three slabs type and different physical interventions were applied in the bamboo to increase anchorage and adherence between bamboo and concrete. The prototypes were submitted to slump tests and compressive strength tests on the concrete used, controlled by the ABNT NBR NM 67:1998 and ABNT NBR 5739:2007, respectively. The results enabled the use of the additional elements, being the slabs with application of the anchorage and adherence techniques, the superior mechanical resistance of a conventional solid slab developed in the same standards, indicating feasibility for the application of both methods.
