SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY

IIT Kanpur develops bamboo-based vibration barriers

Researchers at IIT Kanpur have developed a bamboo-based vibration barrier technology titled A Passive Vibration Screening Arrangement with Bamboo In-filled Wave Barriers. The system uses underground bamboo-filled barriers to dampen ground-borne vibrations from traffic, construction, and industry, protecting nearby buildings and infrastructure. Created by Priyanka Ghosh and Sreyashrao Surapreddi of the Civil Engineering Department, the method emphasizes environmental sustainability and low maintenance. Tests show significant attenuation of vibration transmission in dense urban corridors, with potential adoption in cities seeking quieter, safer environments and reduced structural fatigue for sensitive facilities.
  • Technology name: Bamboo In-filled Wave Barriers.
