← TechnologyWhich consequence commonly results when inadequately spaced ties exist in reinforced concrete columns under compression?
A)Premature rebar buckling occurs✓
B)Concrete spalling is suppressed
C)Increased ductility is witnessed
D)Compression capacity is enhanced
💡 Explanation
Premature rebar buckling occurs because inadequate tie spacing reduces lateral support, therefore the rebar buckles outward under compression rather than remaining stable and contributing to load-bearing capacity. Concrete spalling is exacerbated by the rebar buckling.
