Abstract
Devices, assemblies, and methods for increasing lateral confinement, strength, and/or ductility in construction materials are disclosed. A ring with a continuous outer perimeter that is sized to fit at least partially within a perimeter of a piece of construction material, such as a construction block formed from masonry materials, may be used. The ring may be formed from a material that provides a higher tensile strength than one or more corresponding construction materials, so that when the ring and the one or more construction materials are assembled together, the ring provides increased resistance to lateral forces. This may be used to provide a structure with greater strength and durability.
