Abstract
A reinforced concrete column (110) includes a plurality of axially oriented reinforcing steel bars (112) within a surface of the concrete column (110). A first spiral wire (114) within the surface of the concrete column (110), the first spiral wire (114) being around an outer circumference of the plurality of axial reinforcing (112) and a second spiral wire (116), the second spiral wire (116) also being within the surface of the concrete column (110). The second spiral wire (116) is around a circumference of the plurality of axial reinforcing bars and the second spiral wire (116) is opposed to the first spiral wire (114).
