Hello, Professor. Is it useful to place a thick steel plate -well anchored by bolts in a column at the face of an external concrete beam-column joint- and expect this configuration to behave as an interior joint?
Dear Mr. Ahmad Zamanifar,
It is difficult to understand why you have raised this question, what is the rationale behind this? Such structural solution for the external reinforced concrete beam-column joint cannot behave as an interior joint. By doing so a huge amount of steel will be consummated for nothing, but the stress-strain state of the external joint will never be similar to that of interior joint under the vertical and horizontal loading.
