Abstract
Bamboo is used for making low cost housing in hilly regions. However, wall and roof elements made of simple bamboo mat do not last long due to their poor strength against static as well as impact loads and durability. Present paper suggests use of cementsand mortar panels with bamboo as reinforcing material. Three types of dwelling units with varying plan area are proposed using locally available material. Cost estimate of these units are also presented for comparison.
