Cellular concrete is a lightweight concrete obtained by aerating agent, which produces air-voids into the mixture. Low loads acting on houses or small buildings permits to use cellular concrete advantages: good thermal insulation, lower concrete production costs and simplification of precast transportation. To improve the mechanical characteristic of structural cellular concrete knowledge, this work deals with bond between cellular concrete and steel rebars. Pull-out tests of 4,2 mm diameter rebars partly immersed into concrete cylinders were made. Concrete unit weight variation and setting of a transverse rebar into the concrete cylinder center constitute the variables of the work. Three types of mixture were prepared: one without aerating agent (with a dry unit weight of 2255 kg/m 3 ), and two with different aerating agent rates (with a dry unit weight equal to 1565 and 1510 kg/m 3 ). One of the conclusions of the study is the large decrease of bond stress between 4,2 diameter rebars and cellular concrete, due to concrete unit weight reduction. Comparison of results with others studies reveals that water/cement ratio could be the main variable which influences bond stress. Moreover, other variables like aerating agent quantity introduced into the mixture, coarse aggregate use or rebar diameter could influence the bond stress value. Transverse rebar introduced into concrete cylinder center increased the ultimate pull-out force of the test: the gain of bond produced by the transverse rebar grew up when the cellular concrete unit weight had been reduced. Therefore, special anchorages (not exclusively straight), permitting bond improvement between cellular concrete and 4,2 mm diameter rebar could be a solution to improve the mechanical performance of cellular concrete
