It depends on the application. For loads past the yield strength, you will want to have a tightly spaced spiral reinforcement that is able to create a high-strength inner core. Spiral reinforcement is probably the best because you can have one continuous spiral running through the column. You could also use singular circular ties, however you need to splice the ties and that can cause problems. Less

That is not a very good answer for poster above. Why this "spiral" you speak of? Can you relate this to your mechanics of materials equations? Less

I always wanted to be an structure design engineer which inspired by my father who manage to build our own house with his experience and calculations. Besides, the design work and design project during my university time gave me a great self-satisfaction. The solutions and designs are like babies from me. Every time when I look back on them, I felt proud of it. I believed that inspiration from my father and pursuing of self-satisfaction will motivate me to be a good structure design engineer. Less

3D printed a SolidWorks design of a mini-venturi tube in order to utilize compressed air due to low pressure from a vacuum. Compressed air creates a jet-stream through one outlet that promotes inward flow of air in a secondary inlet to provide temporary suction. Less

The answer is the beam vibration goes up because the heavier the beam the less it deflects but the faster it vibrates Less
