An experimental investigation of the improvement of ductile behaviour of non-seismically designed reinforced concrete (RC) columns with various configurations of transverse reinforcement is presented in this paper.
Emphasis is placed on the effects of the configuration of transverse reinforcement on the enhancement of ductility and improvements in seismic performance of RC columns.
