 Strong Frame® Special Moment Frame Now Code-Listed
The new Simpson Strong-Tie Strong Frame special moment frame is now code-listed (ICC-ES ESR-2802) to the 2006, 2009 and 2012 IBC®. The special moment frame is an economical solution for both new construction and soft-story retrofit in wood and light frame structures.
The special moment frame is built upon patented Yield-Link™ structural fuse technology that is designed to bear the brunt of inelastic deformation demands during a large seismic event. This new technology isolates damage within the frame, keeping the structural integrity of the beams and columns intact.
With bolt-on/bolt-off ability, the fuses are fully replaceable if damaged, making replacement easier since the beam and columns can remain in the structure during repairs. The replaceable Yield- Link structural fuse also enables the Strong Frame special moment frame to be designed without lateral bracing from the beam to the adjacent roof or floor diaphragm. There is no risk of fire when installed in an existing structure, as no field welding is required. For more information, visit www.strongtie.com/smf.
