Abstract

A lateral reinforcement system for a concrete structure having axially disposed structural bars. The lateral reinforcement system comprises a plurality of reinforcement ties disposed at an inclination to the axially disposed structural bars. A pair of reinforcement ties of the plurality of reinforcement ties is disposed at mirror inclinations to each other. In the pair of reinforcement ties, the reinforcement ties cross each other at diametrically opposite corners of the reinforcement ties at diametrically opposite axially disposed structural bars, such that, a first reinforcement tie of the pair of reinforcement ties crosses from inside of a second reinforcement tie of the pair of reinforcement ties at one structural bar, and the second reinforcement tie crosses from inside of the first reinforcement tie at the diametrically opposite structural bar. The plurality of reinforcement ties forms a three-dimensional interwoven network around the axially disposed structural bars.
