History
  • Research of concrete confinement  started before 1928
  • Triaxial compressive stress behavior(1)
6
Conventional Confinement Reinforcement Problems
  • Poor fabrication tolerance results in
    • Assembly and installation conflicts
    • Obstruction of passage of vibrator
    • Reduction in the quality of the members
    • Inadequate concrete coverage
    • Inhibiting concrete placement
    • Severe constructability problems
7
Conventional Confinement Reinforcement Problems
  • Column beam connection
    • Rebar congestion caused by many layers of conventional hoops and crossties
