Developing Beam Torsion into Column

Developing Beam Torsion into Column

Developing Beam Torsion into Column

(OP)



If your column is already casted in concrete, and you added a beam like in the above illustration (where holes are drilled in column to insert the longitudinal bars and I-beam at core of concrete beam welded to the metal plates at side (face) of column (with stirrups enclosing the I-beam at the hybrid beam). How effective can you transfer or develope the torsion of the beam into the column compared to a normal column-beam joint? Isn't it concrete cant resist tension much so in a typical beam rotating against a column joint.. how much does the concrete part help (beside the main bars)?
