Abstract
Recently Bamboos are used to construct low- cost storage structures, due to easily availability and cost effectiveness. But storage structures constructed with bamboo have certain limitations, like low storage capacity, lesser life of structure and not that much efficient ventilation. Presently bamboos are used in such structure are generally entire circular section and half circular section and placed either exactly vertical or exactly horizontal in section for making various components like sides, bottom, roof, and partitions of onion storage structure. There is not too much attention given to selection of alternative cross-sectional shape of bamboo and secondly placing of such sections in various directions rather than exactly horizontal and vertical. By using different cross-sectional shapes of bamboos and placing it in various orientations, use can increase the storing capacity of such Bamboo storage structure, improve natural ventilation capacity, can prove eco- friendly, cost efficient and rural area sustainable alternative for rural areas by using limited available resources.
