Notes (see Figure 8.2 of EC2):
- Good bond (Good bond conditions): for the reinforcements during concreting form with the horizontal an angle between
45° and 90° or in the case of forming an angle less than 45°, are located in the lower half of the section or at a distance
equal or greater than 30 cm of the upper surface of a layer of concrete.
- Poor bond (Poor bond conditions): for the reinforcements that, during concreting, not found in any of the above cases.
