Simpson Strong-Tie introduced the new Yield-Link brace connection, part of a full suite of structural steel innovations and resilient building solutions, at this year’s NASCC: The Steel Conference, held April 12-14 at the Charlotte Convention Center in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Seismic bracing for wall and ceiling systems has never been easier – with thier ICC-ES and OPM certifications, fast access to BRACELOK and GRIDLOK is now available.
After a year of planning, testing and analysis, the team at BRACELOK are delighted to announce their rigid bracing solution GRIDLOK for ceiling systems, has a preapproval with OPM-0544-13 from OSHPD.
This OPM provides a revolutionary tested and approved seismic bracing option for part height partition walls allowing braces to have 8ft centers in most conditions A through D.
Simpson Strong-Tie announced the launch of the Strong-Wall site-built portal frame system (PFS) to provide designers, engineers, and builders in prescriptive markets with an easy way to meet code-defined wood wall-bracing requirements when building narrow wall widths.
