This is my last question, does 'bonding' work here? Thanks

In order to strengthen the BONDING between the foundation and the building above the ground level, reinforcement needs to be installed at a distance of every 1 m, and with the size of D8 and 20 cm long minimal

Just bond would be better.

This recommendation is based on the assumption that the overturning moment from the wind does not exceed three-fourths of the righting moment from the wall dead load, and does not depend upon bond between the foundation and the wall. If bond is assured or steel dowels are used to tie the wall to the foundation, or if greater lateral loads exist, straight walls can be designed in accordance with the Recommended Building Code Requirements for Engineered Brick Masonry, BIA, August 1969; or \"Building Code Requirements for Reinforced Masonry\", ANSI A41.2-1960 (R1970).

articulation

Articulation is an alternative you can use here.

Bonding is also just fine IMHO.
Peer comment(s):

disagree Tony M : Sorry, but I believe 'articulation' suggests the deliberate possibility of movement, which is presumably exactly what is NOT wanted here! // Yes, but it's 'joint' in the sense of mobility, like 'hip joint'

I didn't know this word had this meaning. The dictionary only mentions "of or about jointing".
