USE OF HELICES FOR ENHANCING THE PROPERTIES OF REINFORCED CONCRETE BEAMS
The paper reviews an experimental testing conducted to investigate the use of steel helices to encase a proportion of the high strength concrete in the compression zone of the beam to develop a greater load capacity and ductility. Two sets of experiments were carried out: the first comprised twelve reinforced concrete model beams; the second set comprised four larger scale prototype beams. In each set, one beam was constructed without helices to provide a benchmark for comparison of behavior. The results indicated that the helical reinforcement increased the load capacity of the beams and enhanced their ductility.
