Preface
Bamboo is one of the oldest building materials available
in nature with which human could interact. It is used for
many applications in the field of construction, particularly
in developing countries. It is strong and light weight and
available in different sizes. It does’t need to be processed
much before its use. It also does’t need to be finished
much in construction. It is also a fast growing plant which
is also planted commercially for production. In spite of
these, the use of bamboo has been largly restricted to
temporary structures and lower grade buildings due to
limited natural durability, difficulties in joining, a lack of
structural design data and exclusion from building codes.
Mizoram jointly embarked upon this idea of organizing a
training workshop on affordable bamboo housing in earthquake-prone areas.
With diminishing wood resources and restrictions imposed
on felling of trees the focus shifted on the need to identify
a substitute material, which should be renewable, environment friendly and widely available. In this context bamboo is ideally placed to become a principal engineering
and construction material for the future.
This document is a compilation of the workshop conducted
at Berawtlang, Aizawl, Mizoram on ‘AFFORDABLE BAMBOO HOUSING IN EARTHQUAKE PRONE AREAS’ during 29th October to 12th November, 2001.
Taking all these factors into consideration, the International Network for Bamboo and Rattan (INBAR), Beijing,
China, the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), the Cane and Bamboo Technology
Centre (CBTC), Guwahati and the Government of

The workshop is intented to transfer Latin American earthquake-resistant and affordable bamboo housing technology to India and to adapt it to local needs. Two Latin
American consultants, Mr. Jorge Moran Ubidia (Architect
and Director, Hoger de Christo Foundation/Lecturer, University of Guayaquil, Ecuador) and Mr. Juan Carlos
Jaramillo (Architect, Armenia, Colombia) conducted the
workshop.

Introduction
Bamboo, as such, does not need any introduction. It is
amongst the fist materials available in nature with which
human ingenuity could interact. Much before tools to cut
trees were discovered, bamboo was cut and split by stone
tools for multifarious uses. Lashed together by vines from
trees, men made use of bamboos to make rafts, enabling
them to cross water bodies. The multitude of uses to which
bamboo could be put to ranged from mats on floors to
bamboo walls plastered with mud onto thatched roofs on
bamboo understructure. Bamboo gave humans the hollow reed (flute) for music and its bending force made it
suitable for the bow. The original potter’s wheel was made
out of bamboo, rope and mud. Bamboo work, therefore,
can be considered as the mother of all artisan skills. All

need to identify a substitute material, which should be
renewable, environment friendly and widely available. In
view of its rapid growth rate, a ready adaptability to most
climatic conditions and properties superior to most juvenile fast growing wood bamboo emerges as a very suitable alternative. It is in this context that bamboo is ideally
placed to become a principal engineering and construction material for the twenty-first century and beyond. Besides, bamboo constructions are easy to build, resilient to
wind and even earthquakes and are readily repairable in
the event of damage and that too at a very low cost.

The Workshop was focussed on the practical aspects of
affordable bamboo housing. It introduced the construction systems and use of the bamboo in building houses in
Equador and Colombia to the participants. The event was
highly interactive and participants got an opportunity for
hands-on learning experience.

Presentations:
History of the use of Guadua in Colombia and
Ecuador by Mr. Jorge Moran and Mr. Juan Carlos
The bamboo has been always present in the American
History, but specially in Colombia and Ecuador. The archeological and archeobotanical investigations have demonstrate some uses the man has given to this material
more over than thousand years, by finding different instruments and some houses ruins. The bamboo culture
has remarked the Colombian and Ecuadorian history
through the times in differnt ways: it has been present in
the music, the popular traditions, the hunting, the fishing,
the agriculture, the religion, the cooking, the recreation,
the armory, and many other uses, many of them similar to Asia. In this speach he mentioned some historical elements from Equadore, that belong to the most remot times,
and still today. In this special mention for the rural housing, where the pragmatically knowledge given by the centuries is a real patrimony from the vernacular architecture
from Ecuador. There is also a mention of the urban building where the timber, initially used to build the Spaniard
army boats transferred its use to the housing carpenter
getting tied to the bamboo as a construction material.
Finally there is demonstrated that the wrong way to construct with bamboo has become a symbole of misery ant
marginality.

Colombia is located in the western hemisphere, in the
NW corner of the South America, has a coast in the Atlantic Ocean at North and in the Pscific Ocean at occident.
The colombiam territory in general is formed by a mountainous region. A significant proportion of the urban structures of the towns and cities, included the departmental
capitals in the coffee axis, were built with different
bahareque and guadua constructive techniques. It means
that the bahareque and the guadua have been intimately
bound to the urban historical growth of this important
Colombian region, and even today in spite of the repeated
events that have caused big destruction’s, many of these
structures still up as a silent witness of the step of the years
and as real examples of seismicresistant structures. How
ever with the economic prosperity achieved by the coffee
business, these technologies stayed in the fields, and began to show up in the cities new imported technologies
that broke the urban structures and it began to hide the
reality of the bahareque houses behind false facades made
with bricks or many other materials. The new widespread
tendency slowly change the physiognomy of the cities and
the bahareque and the guadua began to be considered
as poor’s technology.

done during the five days of bigger darkness of the last
quarter of the moon in the first hours of the day before
the dawn (among 1:00 o’clock am. and 5:00 am) being
left to ferment inside the bamboo forest for space of 20
days as minimum. The Guadua presents three kinds of
water inside: the Hygroscopic, the Molecular one, and
free one. Rhis last one is found among the cells and it is
the one that more easily gets lost, the hygroscopic is in
the waslla, and only gets lost by artificial drying processes,
and the molecular humidity gets lost only by the total combustion. The ideal humidity average to work is 12%, as a
fact the drying is a good immunization.
The most useful drying methode in colombiais the natural
one that consists on cutting and leaving stopped the bamboo cane inside the bushes during twenty days, at this
time it losses the freee water content, and then they are
In this new stage the biggest concern have been centered
in the immunization and preservation of the material. The
immunization is essential as the guadua is a susceptible
to insects attack material like the termites. The preservation has as an object to modify the chamical constitution
of the stems making them not attractive for the biological

cutted into peieces and taken out of the guadual, and left
approximately one month in vertical position using big
and light structures to chieve their relative humidity stabilization. since four years it was brought from Japan a drying system adapted with smoke. The process consists on
introducing the guaduas in a closed space that can be an
oven, where an incomplete combustion takes place to
produce the smoke, and in presence of water vapor, it is
left for a three weeks period of time.
The immunization system most commonly used in colombia
are those with chemicakl products, which are not accepted
by the developed countries. Compoud as the borax, boric acid, the copper pentacloratum and formal among
others are the must useful. The Immunization for injection
that consists on applying 5 cm. of poison on each knot
using syringes, it can be done before or after the structure
is built. The Boucheri method consists on making pass the
immunizing through the guadua fibers from one side to
other.
Improved construction systems in Equador and
Colombia, Jorge Moran and Juan Carlos.
The lecture contains some construction experience that
had been made with bamboo at the ecuadorial coast. By
the use of air chamberswithin the walls and ceilling, suitable ventilated, it eliminates the thermal conductivity effects, producing comfor inside the construction. The climate protection must be done as a clear design concept,
and avoid the influence of the rain and humidity against
the construction. Finally all the construction systems may
guarantee the earthquakes and strong wends preventing.
The admissible coefficients of the differnt components from
the building must be higher than the efforts they must resist under adverse conditions. Because of its lowest weight,
this constructions will better resists on earthquakes, perhaps some of the components may fall down as the walls
mortar, the house will remain standing up and his habitants will be safe, some very good examples of this are
there in Colombia and CostaRica.
besides the housing construction the guadua has been
used for furniture, musical instruments, paths, construction and agricultural equipment, rural aqueducts, crafts,
fences, stables, habitat for animals, sales places, kiosks
among many other.
Seismic culture
The nature and especially the earthquakes have shown
them the necessity to evaluate their own circumstances
with their own elements, under their own culture and the

located in areas of high seismic risk.
The foreign technologies that were imported in the past,
and the constructions built without controls were reassessed and studied in the year of 1984, due to the tragedy when a great intensity earthquake destroyed the historical city of Popayan, located in south Colombia. In that
moment the National government approves a law that
rules for all the constructions to be build in the country,
how ever in the one was’t included inside their articulate
a norm for bahareque constructions. It was evidenced
the resistance and long-lasting of the bahreque constructions, that were silent witness of the disasters happened in
their surroundings, and they remained stand up in spite
of the destruction power showed not only in the past earthquake, but of the repeated earthquakes that have stricken
them through their long existance years, being finally
able to call the attention of architects and engineers and
to get now a space to be kept in mind as a material with
excellent physical mechanical properties of great adaptability and that it allows to create constructive seismicresistant systems.
The social Interest house was designed by the architect
Simon Velez who donates this design to several entities
like the INBAR, The National Federation of Coffee Growers of Colombia and the Government of the Quindio,
searching for dignify the social interst housing. The design comes out of a perfect 5x5 mts. square that has an
appendix in of 1.5 mts. at the back where the stairway is

To guide the visitors the departmental Government intends to build some small places for the tourists information that were strategically located in all the access roads
to the department, and because of their architecture they
must were very outstanding and easily identifiable; as an
answer to this two young architects making a show of
their creativity proposed a traditional construction with
bowed brick walls in whose cover should be present the
guadua and the mud tile as a regional identity symbol,
getting a good sample of new architecture built with
autochthnous materials.

The Kinder Garden Los Cafeteritos arises after the 1999
earthquake as a quick and economic solution to the necessity of harboring 100 children with ages between the
6 months of life and the 7 years. This project is built starting from prefabricated guadua panels that were made in

India’s construction systems, Bipul Das
Mr. Bipul Kumar das has
presented his work done
during his study at M.S.
University, Baroda for Barch. course. In this he had
explained about the system
of building construction with
bamboo as the principal
material. This study was
based on pure observation
clubbed with reasoning and
logic.
He started with bamboo as
a material for mankind as
old as wood. sice man
came out of the cave and started the making of shelters
for protection from natural calamities many materials like
timber, earth and stone have gained a considerable
upliftment in their respective uses. The he talk about how
bamboo is used in various places for various uses. The
about bamboo and its growth, dofferent species, structural aspects of bamboo, strength properties etc. Later he
talk about the construction system in NE india and later
the improved construction system ha had developed during his study and the importance of that in todays context.

Plantation and Utilization, Dr. K. Haridasan
and Kameash Salam
India’s NE region consist of
seven states viz, Arunachal
Pradesh, Assam, Manipur,
Meghalaya, Mizoram,
Nagaland and Tripura. It
has a total geographical
area of 255082 sq.km. This
region has a greater proportion of forests cover
compared to many other
states in India. Dr.
Haridasan talk about the
bamboo habitates in NE region, Species diversity, Distribution Farming potential, Utilization, Plantation, Conservation etc.
North east India which is known for a greater diversity of
flora is also rich in bamboo diversity. Each state has a
different composition of species constituting its bamboo
resource. Many of the species in the region are utilized
for different purposes. There is also scope and potential
for augmenting the economic utilization of bamboo resources. This may warrant farming and large scale plantation of desired species. It can also be seen in the region

They have system like somebody who do the plantation

will take care of transportation, Then next group will do
the sixing and spliting, then
it has gone to the factory wher it is boiled ,treeted and
then applied glue on it then stacked together. After all this
this will go to another unit to press it together to make
boards and other products. He was alo talking about the
Bamboo shoot-food products and the scope of that in
India. he also mentioned the indian bamboo mat ply. So
in India we need to have an organised way of production
right from plantation to marketing. Now this is the time to
think about it.

Dr. Tiwari talk about the occurrence of earthquake, how
it happence and the NE regions earthquake. NE India is
seismically one of the six most active regions of the world.
It is placed in zone 5, the highest zone, of the seismic
zonation map of India. The region has experienced 18
large earthquakes during the last 100 years including the
great earthquake of shillong (1897, M=8.7) and assamTibet border (1950, M=8.7). besides, several hundred
small and microearthquakes have also been recorded in
the region. It is not the earthquake them selves that kill
people but the collapse of man made structures which
does most of the damage. There fore suitable building
codes should be recommended in the region and should

developed for different construction like building houses
and bridges etc. The joints were made from sheet metal
and nut and bolts.
The important of the software is it provides all the information to manage build a house. And also it is very user
friendly. Right now in Indonesia there are lack of relevent
information provided the the designer. If a designer does’t
know more about the material and other aspects it is very
difficult to do design.
IPIRTI has been associated
with development of bamboo based composites for
more than two decades. It
is successfully developed
and transferred the technologies for manufacturing
Bamboo Mat Board and
Bamboo Mat veneer Composits.The Institute has also
developed the technology for Eco-friendly roofing material from bamboo viz. Bamboo mat corrugated sheets. In
addition, several housing applications of these material
have also been evolved. Bamboo related R&D efforts have
culminated into evolution of bamboo based housing system wherein round/split bamboo/bamboo composites
have been efficiently combined along with conventional
building materials. A few demonstration houses have already been constructed using this technique.

successful. He also talked
about the cultivation of
bamboo from the nodes.
Talked the change of material used for construction in
Mizoram. Earlier there were
everything was depend on
wood and bamboo. Now
there is problems getting
wood. So people go for
concreat, and it is expensive
because the material has
come from out side. And the
transportation is difficult.
There he suggest bamboo
as material for future.
He had mentioned his experiences in Chine during
his visit and how he can
apply this system here. He

During the construction of pillars and the beams, there is
another work was going. Another group of people was
making the pannels for the wall. Here they were made
wooden frames according to the sizes requires, which will
fit in between the pillars. Then on the surface they had
placed flatened bamboo which was treated early in Mithil
Bromide for protecting from insects. It is fixed with nail to
the wood. The nail was not put in to the wood completely.
Because it was required to tie the metal wire on top of it to
hold the bamboo with the wood. After putting the nail on
the bamboo and wood metal wire tied at one end and
continue taking to the nest nail and tied on to it and continue like that. It helps to stop the splitten bamboo slipping off from the wooden frame.
This kind of pannels been prepares and kept aside to fix
with the pillars. The bamboo splits had been placed bothe
side of the wooden frame. So the middle part will be empty
even after the construction of the houses. This will reduce
the weight and also this will act as heat insulator. Here
the bamboo also used as a reinforce material for the
plasterring. This methods been practiced in Colombia and
also in Ecuadore

There are different kinds of foundation for the pole has
been made as a sample piece during the workshop. This
has just made for an experience for the participats. Jorge
and Juan shown this because it is very important when a
person build a house has to be very care ful about how
the bamboo fixed to the ground. Here they shown different options for that. Buckets and PVC tubes been used as
mould. They also shown how to fix the bamboo on to it.
While casting itself they inserted rods which comes out
from the concreat and them bamboo is fixed to it. This
entire concreat block will go in to the ground.

were invaluable and provided the starting point for discussion, interaction and building activity.
The discussion during the workshop successfully covered
almost all of the practical aspects of bamboo-based housing. The participants were introduced to different construction systems, and to a range of technology, materials
and skills. The initial presentations led to lively discussions on the current construction systems in India, and
The workshop went far beyond its original objectives, and their relative advantages and disadvantages. These interthe output significantly exceeded the expectations of the active discussions led into practical sessions on construcorganisers. It also succeeded in overcoming the consid- tion elements, bamboo preservation, and adaptation of
erable logistical and other difficulties that are a part of new designs.

The workshop participants came from seven countries and
four continents, twelve States of India – the largest contingent was naturally from the States of the North East, for
whom the subject of the workshop was of immediate and
practical relevance.
a unique and educative experience for them all. The exhibition of various industrial bamboo products, which was
also concurrently held with the workshop, was a major
attraction for the participants and the local population.
There is no doubt that the model bamboo house constructed during the course of the workshop will pave the
way for many more such houses to come up in the near
future not only in the North East but in other parts of the
country as well .At the same time it will be a model house
for the government sponsored rural housing schemes in
India.
The workshop was a success not just because of the fact
that participants from other countries participated in it. It
was a success because of the active support, cooperation
and collaboration by the local people.
