Topic: Helical reinforcement in column

I am planning to simulate a compression test of a reinforced concrete short column with a circular cross-section.
The specimen contains longitudinal reinforcement and helical reinforcement as transverse reinforcement.
In your experience, can the helical reinforcement be modeled in ATENA 3D? I mean, is the helical reinforcement will bear a part of the load-bearing capacity of the column?

Re: Helical reinforcement in column

Hi, yes, this can be done in ATENA and the reinforcement should contribute to the strength of the column.
