It shouldbe recalled, however, that the hooped col-umn with 1—4—8 concrete is much lessstiff through the second stage than is that.

Fig. 4shows the results graphically. It is evident(hat hooping adds strength and that the ex-cess of strength over that of plain concretecolumns is proportional to the amount ofreinforcement. The full effect of the hoop-ing is not clearly shown in Fig. 4 since theconcrete in each column has its individualstrength. A better comparison is made byfirst estimating the strength of the con-crete for each column as found in of Elasticity and CompressiveDeforma
