They are required in any column-whether they are parts of a moment resistant frame or the gravity system in order for them to deform laterally and provide the required ductility. This paper deals with studies on the compressive strength of concrete specimens having confinement in various quantities. Studies on reinforced cement concrete specimens were used to understand the influence of the lateral confinement on the compressive strength of concrete. Cylindrical and square test specimens having height to diameter (or width) ratio as 2 were used for the study. The specimen was prepared with different spacing of hoops and having seismic and non-seismic hooks. This paper deals with the variation of peak strength with volumetric ratio of transverse steel to confined concrete core. Copyright@ International Science Community Association
