Reduced Beam Section
Reduced Beam Section
(OP)
I have been reading about reduced beam section, and it says that it helps on the reduction of the need of continuity plates as well as doubler plates, but I dont understand the reason for this since having a reduced beam section increases the moment at the face of the column in comparison to just having the plastic moment develop at the face of the column.
Thanks
Thanks

I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.
