*2.1.3. The nominal moment and ultimate moment*

Based on the concrete compressive strength and bamboo tensile strength, the nominal moment of the beam could be analyzed. Beam dimensions were 110 mm width and 250 mm height. The bamboo reinforcement area of 400 mm2 was used for beam 1a, 1b, 1c, and 1d while for beam 2a, 2b, 2c, and 2d was used bamboo reinforcement area of 1200 mm2 . **Figure 3** [22] shows the process of how the bamboo reinforcement was assembled. **Figure 4** [22] shows the loading test of the bamboo reinforced concrete beam.
