| Abstract
: |
| Structural
elements subject to high out-of-plane shear and those needing
confinement for ductility in the post-elastic phase require concentrated
transverse reinforcement. A T-headed bar has been developed that is
inserted between the in-plane bars, then turned 90 degrees to lock
behind them. Ease of placement makes these bars economical, and the
ability of one T-headed bar to replace several conventional stirrups
facilitates concrete placement and vibration. |
