Tied columns have closed lateral ties spaced approximately uniformly across the column. The spacing of the ties is limited in that they must be close enough to prevent barreling failure between them, and far enough apart that they do not interfere with the setting of the concrete. The ACI codebook puts an upward limit on the spacing between ties.
Tiebacks to reinforce a slurry wall at Ground Zero, New York. In geotechnical engineering, a tieback is a structural element installed in soil or rock to transfer applied tensile load into the ground.

In these structures, traditional cellular construction (Figure 2) is preferred and a regular wall arrangement with transverse cross walls between rooms and longitudinal spine walls flanking a ...
In many materials, the relation between applied stress is directly proportional to the resulting strain (up to a certain limit), and a graph representing those two quantities is a straight line. The slope of this line is known as Young's modulus , or the "modulus of elasticity".
