The theory of shear resistance of beam column joints is described and the results of two tests on beam column units in which bond plates were used in the joints are presented. Potential advantages for the use of this form of construction arise from the reduction in reinforcement congestion in the joint zone and the elimination of bond stress limitations on beam reinforcement passing through interior joints. These two factors in some situations allow structural member sizes to be reduced, and simpler reinforcement arrangements to be used as bar sizes are not restricted. A number of tentative recommendations are made for the design of this form of joint.
