New Repair, Protection and Strengthening Systems for Concrete and Masonry

Simpson Strong-Tie recently launched its repair, protection and strengthening systems for concrete and masonry – a complementary product line to its anchor systems offering. With the new concrete repair products and full line of mechanical anchors, adhesives, powder-actuated and gas tools, and drill bits, Simpson Strong-Tie now offers customers many innovative solutions for infrastructure, commercial and industrial construction.

The repair, protection and strengthening systems line includes a wide variety of new products, including repair mortars, coatings, grouts, epoxies, sealants and the FX-70® structural repair and protection system. The new Repair, Protection and Strengthening Systems for Concrete and Masonry product guide features all of the new products and is available at www.strongtie.com/rps.

Strong-Wall® SB shearwallStrong-Wall® SB Shearwall

The new Strong-Wall® SB shearwall is a prefabricated wood shearwall offering enhanced design flexibility and greater lateral-force resistance for a broad range of applications, including narrow and tall wall spaces. In areas susceptible to seismic activity or high winds, the SB wood shearwall provides structural support comparable to that of narrow steel shearwalls. The wall is designed for residential, multifamily, and light-frame commercial construction, including garage portals and other large openings.

The SB shearwall is field-trimmable for custom applications and rake walls, and is designed to easily fasten to headers with convenient drill zones and a chase for wiring. For more information, download the Strong-Wall® SB shearwall catalog at strongtie.com.

The ET-HP epoxy-based anchoring adhesive for uncracked concrete has recently been code-listed to the current International Building Code® (ICC-ES ESR-3372). For more information on the product, visit www.strongtie.com/anchors.
