This study was evaluated of flexure strength and ductility of a V-tie arrangement method in reinforced concrete columns under a variable axial force. The axial load level varied to be 0.25, 0.4, and 0.55 for columns with V-ties or crossties. As compared with displacement ductility ratio and the work damage indicator of the companion crosstie columns, the V-tie columns had higher value as much as 1.5 times, 5.2 times for the axial load level of 0.55, respectively.
