The bond between steel and concrete is one of the essential properties affecting the performance of reinforced structural members. Bond strength is responsible for the transfer of forces between the two materials ensuring strain compatibility and composite action. In this study, the bond strength property of reinforced coconut shell aggregate concrete was investigated by pull-out test. The pull-out test was carried out on concentrically reinforced concrete cubes. This experimental study conducted on confined concrete included various percentage replacement of coarse aggregate by coconut shell and deformed steel bars with 12 and 16 mm diameter. Percentage replacement by coconut shell was 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100%. Test results showed good aggregate interlocking property by coconut shells.
