        abstract = {The need has been brought to light by the rising demand for affordable housing and sustainable building methods for substitute materials in the building sector. Bamboo has long been used as a building material because of its high strength, low weight, and renewable nature. Its potential as a concrete reinforcement, however, has not been thoroughly investigated. Three M40- grade concrete beams were cast for this study: one with concrete and steel reinforcement, one with steel reinforcement, and one with bamboo reinforcement. To evaluate each beam's mechanical performance, flexural tests were performed. The findings show that bamboo can be just as strong as steel while also having major environmental advantages, such as sustainability and reduced carbon emissions. The potential of bamboo as an economical and environmentally friendly reinforcement option in concrete construction is demonstrated by this study. For broad use in the building sector, future studies should concentrate on refining bamboo processing methods and assessing its long-term durability. The hybrid beam provides good and balanced strength with significant cost savings. In low-cost construction scenarios and balanced strength, we can use hybrid beams.},
