Bond strength is one among the important property of hardened concrete. Bond between the reinforcement and concrete influences the behavior of structural concrete in many respects. The quality and quantity of ingredients used for making the concrete affect the bond strength of concrete. The addition of mineral admixtures like fly ash, silica fume, rice husk ash etc. into the cement by means of replacing the cement content is nowadays considering as an important matter for protecting the environment against any hazardous situations and also recycling the waste by-products into an effective manner. But, the addition of mineral admixtures affects the structural system of cement and also in concrete. It also leads to the variations in the properties of concrete both fresh and hardened state. With these in mind, the bond strength variations of ternary blended concrete were examined in this experimental investigation and compared with the normal strength concrete. The class F type Fly Ash (FA) was used for making the binary blended concrete. In addition to that Silica Fume (SF) and Rice Husk Ash were (RHA) considered for developing the ternary blended concrete.
