Dear SEFIANS,
If two beams are framing into same column but not in line, will they act as continuous? How the moment distribution will occur at this joint?

Both situations,, beams are continuos provided that reinf bars are embedded Ld into column, of course there will be congestion of reinf bars from beam at such locations,,
