An inventive and environmentally friendly method of stabilizing the soil beneath square footings in construction is the use of bamboo grids. By embedding bamboo strips in a grid pattern, the technique improves load distribution and soil stability. Bamboo is an environmentally friendly material that is perfect for this use because of its high tensile strength and quick renewability. The soil, which came from BIT's Agri Ground, was identified as SC (sand with clayey particles), and 12% was determined to be the ideal moisture content. Bamboo grids improved bearing capacity and decreased settlement by increasing CBR values by 14%. Additionally, a 40% increase in shear strength prevented soil from slipping under stress. Bamboo grids provide a sustainable alternative to traditional techniques that call on costly synthetic materials or hazardous chemicals substitute. To ensure their long-term durability, proper design, care, and maintenance are necessary. This method contributes to ecological advantages and sustainable building by fusing traditional materials with contemporary engineering.
