The load, deflection and lateral expansions were studied at yield state and ultimate state. The results from the experimental investigations were used for performing a multi-variate linear regression analysis incorporating the contribution of tie spacing as a term. The predictions of the regression equation agreed well with the experimental results and showed sensitive difference in compressive strength for changes in tie spacing.}, journal = {American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences}, publisher = {Science Publications} }
