  • Patent number: 11525263
    Abstract: A combined structure of a column includes a plurality of main steel bars, a consecutive stirrup, and a plurality of tie bars. The plural main steel bars are arrayed to form an inner confined region and an outer confined region surrounding the inner confined region. Further, the consecutive stirrup proceeds with a consecutive turning and surrounding along the inner confined region and the outer confined region, and surrounds a region in the consecutive stirrup of the inner confined region so as to form a column core. As such, a complete confinement can be provided for the main steel bars, so as to effectively prevent the main steel bars from buckling, such that the performance of seismic resistance for the columns can be enhanced.

  • Publication number: 20220056694
    Abstract: A combined structure of the combined bundle of columns in the column includes a plurality of main steel bars, a one-drawing consecutive stirrup, and a plurality of tie bars. The plural main steel bars are arrayed to form an inner confined region and an outer confined region surrounding the inner confined region. Further, the one-drawing consecutive stirrup proceeds with a one-drawing consecutive turning and surrounding along the inner confined region and the outer confined region, and surrounds a region in the one-drawing consecutive stirrup of the inner confined region so as to form a column core. As such, a complete confinement can be provided for the main steel bars, so as to effectively prevent the main steel bars from buckling, such that the performance of seismic resistance for the columns can be enhanced.
