      abstract = {This study explores the feasibility of using  cement-plastered bamboo-mat as fence of rural houses. The  strength properties of three common species of bamboo  Borak, Moroi and Jay were determined using its Splits as  test specimen. The fence slabs of size 90x30x5 cm were  fabricated with coal-tar coated fenceskeletons made from  splits of the three bamboo species having rectangular  cross-sections of about 1.3x10 mm and cement mortar of  ratio 1:4, 1:5 and 1:6. The load bearing capacity and the  structural rigidity of the prototype fence slabs were  determined against flexural and impact loadings. The load  carrying capacity of the model fence slabs were evaluated  in terms of the thrust resulting from devastating wind  speed of 300 km/hr beyond great danger signal No.10 of  weather forecast. The structural rigidity of the model  fences were characterised in terms of its resistance  against the dropping,:heights of impact loading. The unit  construction costs of fence slabs were estimated. The  qualitativb :evaluation of the bamboo-made fence in respect  of construction cost, load bearing capacity, rigidity  against impact load and factor of safety characterised a  structurally strong and functional low cost fences suitable  for flood prone and cyclone battered areas of rural  Bangladesh.},
