Popis: The use of welded structural wire reinforcement as the only reinforcement for concrete columns was demonstrated in a pilot study for which four sets of twin specimens were cast simultaneously and tested under identical conditions. One specimen of each pair was reinforced with conventional reinforcing bars, and its twin was reinforced with conventional reinforcing bars, and its twin was reinforced with the same longitudinal area of welded structural wire reinforcement. Transverse ties in each pair had the same strength per unit of column length. Stiffness was virtually identical for twin specimens.
