Bamboo reinforced concrete as a building material is expected to be an alternative to steel reinforced concrete. Due to the fact that steel is not renewable and polluting steel mills are fairly high. The bond strenght is a major concern for the natural fiber used as reinforcement in structural composites. This paper reports study on the bond strenght of bamboo reinforcement in concrete. To determine the adhesion reinforcement in concrete often do by the pull-out test. The research objective was to compare the bond strenght between pull-out test and beam bending tests . The test used light weight concrete with foam additives klerak. Bamboo slats, coated paint and sprinkled with sand. The result pull-out test is equal to 0.41 MPa. Bond strenght bamboo in bending test is 1.49 MPa. The results obtained showed that the bond strenght of bamboo pull-out test is smaller than the beam bending test.
