The bamboo treatment process starts with cutting, soaking in water, draining in free air, reinforcing in the fireplace, first-stage adhesive coating, hose-clamp installation, second-stage adhesive coating, and sand resurfacing. Data was taken from experimental testing of bamboo materials and bond strength tests of bamboo reinforcement in the laboratory of the Faculty of Engineering, University of Brawijaya Malang. The aim of treating and strengthening bamboo reinforcement is to overcome low-load capacity and prevent collapse due to slippage in bamboo reinforced concrete elements. Adhesive coating is employed to increase durability and prevent water absorption, while installing hose-clamps increases bamboo reinforcement slip resistance. The process outlined here represents the way to approach bamboo reinforcement, and laboratory data is processed into graphic images and tables of bond strength of bamboo reinforcement providing the basis for further research. This article comprises a standard operating procedure for treatment of bamboo reinforcement, graphic images, documentation photos, and data tables. The data is related to “Enhancing bamboo reinforcement using a hose-clamp to increase bond-stress and slip resistance” [1].

Bamboo can use at the simple concrete construction because of the tensile strength of its mechanical property. Meanwhile, a slippery surface of the bamboo caused cracks in the bamboo reinforced concrete beam (BRC) not to spread and yield slip failure between a bamboo bar and concrete. Load test at the BRC beam yield humble load capacity. This study aims to improve the capacity and behavior of BRC beam bending by giving waterproof coating, sand, and hose clamp installation. The beam test specimen with the size of 75x150x1100mm made as many as 26 pieces with the variety of reinforcement. The hose clamp used on the bamboo reinforcement varies with a distance of 0 cm, 15 cm, 20 cm, and 25 cm. The testing using a simple beam with two-point loading. The test results show that BRC beams have different bending behavior compared to the steel reinforced concrete beam (SRC).
