This research evaluates the potential of bamboo as a building material in civil engineering,specifically focusing on its application as reinforcement in reinforced concrete (RCC) structures under harsh and corrosive conditions. The key advantages of bamboo include its durability,resistance to corrosion, and local availability, making it an attractive option for sustainable construction. However, challenges such as mechanical variability, toughness, and the need for proper integration into building codes must be addressed. While bamboo s impressive strength-to weight ratio and flexibility underscore its potential, they also raise structural safety concerns that necessitate the development of standardized guidelines.The conclusion emphasizes the importance of collaborative research initiatives aimed at establishing safety standards for bamboo use in construction. This review contributes to the existing literature by identifying gaps and supporting informed decision-making regarding bamboo role in modern building practices. Overall, it advocates for further exploration of bamboo s capabilities to enhance sustainable construction methodologies
