High strength concrete has become a design requirement in recent years due to increase in number of infrastructure projects. This paper presents the effect of incorporating Ultra Fine Slag (UFS) and steel fibre to obtain high strength concrete. To achieve target strength of about 80 MPa, it is proposed to the replacement of cement of 10%, 20% and 30% with UFS and incorporating 0.5% and 1.0% fibre in concrete. An experimental investigation is carried out to find the mechanical properties of the concrete. From the test results, it was observed that a compressive strength of 95 MPa was achieved at 30% replacement of cement with UFS and 1.0% fibre content. In addition, there was a significant improvement in split tensile strength and flexural strength of the concrete. This study demonstrates that a high strength concrete can be obtained from partial replacement of cement with UFS and addition of steel fibre.

Structures located in seismic zones require significant ductility. It is necessary to examine the bond slip characteristics of high strength concrete under cyclic loading. The cyclic bond of high strength concrete is investigated under different parameters, including load history, confining reinforcement, bar diameter, concrete strength, and the rate of pull out. The bond strength, cracking, and deformation are highly dependent on the bond slip behavior between the rebar and the concrete under cyclic loading. The results of cyclic testing indicate that an increase in cyclic displacement will lead to more severe bond damage. The slope of the bond stress – displacement curve can describe the influence of the rate of loading on the bond strength in a cyclic test. Specimens with steel confinement sustained a greater number of cycles than the specimens without steel confinement. It has been found that the maximum bond strength increases with an increase in concrete strength. Cyclic loading does not affect the bond strength of high strength concrete as long as the cyclic slip is less than the maximum slip for monotonic loading. The behavior of high strength concrete under a cyclic load is slightly different from that of normal strength concrete.Key words: bond, high strength, cyclic loading, bar spacing, loading rate, failure mechanism.
