Why is the water stop steel plate placed in the middle of the wall?

Answer:

Of course not. It's in the middle of the perfectly accurate, roughly the middle of the wall. General concrete wall, if there is double layer steel bar, placed in the middle of the two layer of steel bar, when placed with short steel welded fixed on the steel skeleton, pay attention to water stop steel plate, not with the structure steel affixed together.
Because there are tiny cracks in the concrete construction joints. A steel plate is embedded in the gap and the gap is blocked by a steel plate.
A water stop steel plate is an ordinary thin steel plate, not a waterproof coiled material, not a rubberized fabric, but imagine if a steel plate is placed on the outside of the concrete wall
