Abstract

Water tanks made from bamboo reinforced cement have been reported in several Asian countries. The major problem identified is durability. At the Asian Institute of Technology a 6 m3 capacity tank was constructed in 1983. This tank has been monitored regularly. The paper presents the material estimate, construction procedure and behaviour of the tank for the last five years.
