Reinforced Concrete Joint Condition
Reinforced Concrete Joint Condition
(OP)
I have encountered some books emphasizing that there is no fully-fixed or hinged joint conditions in reinforced concrete. On the other hand, steel structures may give us better understanding through joint connections (bolting and/or welding).
I am aware that RC joint condition has something to do with assumptions during analysis and detailing of rebars. But may I have more insights to better address this confusion.
Thank you.

How about [1] beams/girders cast monotonically with columns (given that they are part of moment resisting frames) and [2] moment resisting columns with their supporting footings?
