  1. LS is lap-splice (equal to 1.3 times development length); fcu is compressive strength of concrete at 56 days; ρst is steel reinforcement ratio (Ast/Ag); Ast is area of steel; Ag is gross area of specimen; ρtie; = tie reinforcement ratio (Vtie/Vcore_con); Vtie is volume of column tie; Vcore_con is volume of core concrete; ρf = fiber reinforcement ratio (Vf/Vcore_con); Vf is volume of fiber (= area of fiber (mm2/pitch) × perimeter × pitch (1 pitch is 250 mm and 300 mm for TG-1 & TG-2 and TG-3, respectively; shear span(a) is 1,200 mm and 1250 mm for TG-1&TG-2 and TG-3, respectively; effective depth (d) is 352 mm for all columns; a/d = 3.4 and 3.5 for TG-1&TG-2 and TG-3, respectively; column diameter = 400 mm and column height = 1500 mm for all columns.
