Abstract:
Continuously wound ties (CWTs) are being used in place of conventional transverse reinforcement in concrete compression members to reduce waste and speed the construction process. To compare performance of CWTs with conventional ties, large-scale special boundary element specimens were designed, constructed, and tested under monotonically increasing axial compression.
