Moment Frame Features Yield-Link Technology

Simpson Strong-Tie’s Strong Frame special moment frame is designed to help prevent damage to structures in seismic events. The code-listed frame is built upon a patented Yield-Link Structural inelastic deformation demands, keeping the structural integrity of the beams and columns intact. With bolt-on/off ability, the links are fully replaceable if damaged. The technology also enables the special moment frame to be designed without lateral bracing from the beam to the adjacent roof or floor diaphragm.
