Confinement effect of different arrangements of transverse reinforcement on axially loaded concrete columns: An experimental study
Concrete behaves as a brittle material due to its low inherent tensile strength, but it can also exhibit a markedly ductile behavior when coupled with transverse reinforcement like steel stirrups. The role of stirrups is to enhance confinement effect, to restrain the lateral expansion of concrete, t...
