Performance of this unique column-beam joint
Performance of this unique column-beam joint
(OP)
Hi, has anyone encountered or heard of the following column-beam design or similar? What can you say about it in terms of loading and seismic performance compared to conventional reinforced concrete and rebars based joints? What is its pro and con? Thanks.

The standards they use and develop are probably somewhat different than America's and therefore hard to utilize without issue. It might perform well enough in a seismic event but I personally would be using something that is only detailed in an online power point presentation either.
