Straw　ash　concrete　is　an　emerging　construction　material　using　an　agricultural　by-product　material　such　as　straw　ash　substitute　for　cement.　This　paper　investigates　the　compression　strength,　spitting　tensile　strength,　bond　strength　and　corrosion　behavior　of　rebar　embedded　in　straw　ash　concrete.　The　research　issues　mainly　concern　the　dosages　of　straw　ash,　the　diameter　of　rebars,　and　the　strength　grades　of　concrete,　in　which　144　concrete　specimens,　108　pull-out　specimens　and　30　corroded　specimens　are　studied.　The　results　indicate　that　the　bond　strength　of　rebars　will　be　reduced　by　the　increase　of　the　dosage　of　straw　ash　and　will　be　intensive　along　with　the　decrease　of　the　diameter　of　rebar.　Comparisons　of　the　results　obtained　from　the　corrosion　tests　show　that　straw　ash　concrete　has　higher　corrosion　resistance　than　that　of　the　ordinary　concrete.　This　suggests　that　the　straw　ash　is　an　effective　mineral　admixture　in　concrete　when　the　replacement　ratio　is　10%　(C20,　C30).　(C)　2019　Elsevier　Ltd.　All　rights　reserved.
