Explanation

Function of Lateral ties-

  • To resist buckling and strengthen bond.
  • To bind longitudinal reinforcement and proper distribution of concrete.

Providing lateral ties at the proper spacing confines concrete (like gripping the concrete enclosed between the lateral ties) thereby preventing pieces of failed concrete from falling away.

The lateral ties in the reinforced concrete rectangular column under axial tension are used to provide adequate confinement to concrete because buckling is not possible.

The transverse reinforcing bars are provided to ensure that every longitudinal bar nearest to the compression face has effective lateral support against buckling.
