Note: = average initial strand stress; = design ultimate strength of strand, 1860 MPa (269.7 ksi); = confinement region length at wall toes (measured against the center of bars); = stirrup spacing (measured against the center of bars); = first stirrup distance from the bottom of the wall (measured to the center of bars); = the length-to-width aspect ratio of the stirrups.
