The bamboo cane is a noble element of nature, it is known as cane in Ecuador and it is used for many purposes, in the sector of Olón in the peninsula of Santa Elena. The bamboo cane grows in the middle of the dense cloud forest of the Chongón-Colonche mountain range, and these workers have developed products such as sorbets (tubes to be used in cocktails) reusable that guarantees the exclusion of plastic in the tourism sector. But nevertheless, studies already carried out, guarantee to extract cellulose that produces a resin similar to plastic. That is, even though furniture, doors, houses are already made, the noble material could cover the need for construction material, it is special for office partition panels, desks, doors and windows. In this literary review, first the mechanical behavior of the bamboo cane is studied and then the benefit in different uses of the bambusoideae grass mainly in the construction.
