This paper focuses on the problems of the bond-strength between concrete and reinforcement and defines the basic factors affecting the quality of the bond. Two types of coated concrete reinforcement (the zinc-and epoxy-coated) and methods of testing their bond-strength with concrete are described. The goal of this work is to generalize the results of the bond-strength tests so that they would consider only the influence of the corrosion of the zinc-coated reinforcement in fresh concrete or, in the case of the epoxy-coated reinforcement, its probable constriction during the testing. Based on described standards, it is recommended to use the pull-out test to obtain these generalized results: two Czech standards (Bond-strength test of the reinforcement cast in prisms, Beam-strength test of the reinforcement in cubes) and a RILEM recommendation. Keywords: concrete, corrosion of concrete reinforcement, bond-strength, bond-strength tests, hot-dip galvanized reinforcement, epoxy-coated reinforcement, standardŝ lanek obravnava probleme trdnosti vezi med betonom in armaturo ter dolo~a osnovne faktorje, ki vplivajo na kvaliteto vezi. Opisani sta dve vrsti prekritja armature (prekritje s cinkom in prekritje z epoksi smolo) in kako se preizkusi njihova trdnost vezi z betonom. Cilj tega dela je bil dobiti rezultate preizkusov trdnosti vezi, ki bi upo{tevali samo vpliv korozije pri armaturi, pokriti s cinkom v sve`em betonu ali, v primeru armature, pokrite z epoksi smolo, na njeno zo`enje med preizkusom. Na podlagi opisanih standardov se priporo~a preizkus izpuljenja, da se dobi posplo{ene rezultate: dva~e{ka standarda (Preizkus trdnosti vezi betona ulitega v prizme, Preizkus trdnosti betonske kocke) in RILEM-priporo~ilo. Klju~ne besede: beton, korozija armature v betonu, trdnost vezi, preizkusi trdnosti vezi, vro~e cinkana armatura, armatura z nanosom epoksi smole, standardi
