Abstract
Wall is a part of building industry that consumes a lot of construction materials. In past, bamboo weaved wall with or without clay plaster was very common in rural India. This was very comfortable and used renewable resources. Modern construction has not adopted these wall as these wall panels did not have longevity and require regular maintenance. Brick became the most popular material used in wall panel. Since brick consumes a lot of energy and top soil and it is being replaced with fly ash brick, autoclave brick etc. In Assam and north-east India bamboo weaved wall with cement mortar had once become popular. This too did not find way in modern construction. This research is done to establish this as a modern construction material. This paper presents the details of wall joints that were developed to replace the wooden frames in such wall panel.
