The bond behavior of reinforcing bars is an important determinant of strength and stability. The article “Experimental Study on the Bond Behavior of Reinforcing Bars Embedded in Concrete Subjected to Lateral Pressure” (J. of Materials in Civil Engr., 2012:125–133) reported the results of one experiment in which varying levels of lateral pressure were applied to 21 concrete cube specimens, each with an embedded 16-mm plain steel round bar. and the corresponding bond capacity was determined. Due to differing concrete cube strengths (fcu, in MPa), the applied lateral pressure was equivalent to a fixed proportion of the specimen’s (0, .1fcu, … , .6fcu). Also, since bond strength can be heavily influenced by the specimen’s fcu, bond capacity was expressed as the ratio of bond strength (MPa) to .

It was thought that the writing surface might affect life- time, so three different surfaces were randomly se- tected. A writing machine was used to ensure that conditions were otherwise homogeneous (e.g., con- stant pressure and a fixed angle). The accompany- ing table shows the two lifetimes (min) obtained for each brand-surface combination.
