Abstract

A connecting assembly is disposed between a concrete column and at least one beam having upper and lower flanges. The connecting assembly has upper and lower connecting members and a tubular member disposed between the connecting members. The upper and lower connecting members are mounted on the upper and lower flanges of the beam, respectively. Each of the connecting members has at least one through-hole in which concrete of the column is filled, so that the column is partly encased by the tubular member. Accordingly, the column is connected to the beam.
