As part of the Natural Hazards Engineering Research Infrastructure (NHERI) Converging Design project, Simpson Strong-Tie collaborated with several universities to perform a series of outdoor shake table tests on a six-story hybrid structural steel and mass timber structure at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD).
Simpson Strong-Tie has added yet another design innovation to a growing suite of products and solutions for structural steel construction. Introducing the Yield-Link® brace connection (YLBC).
Like our customers, Simpson Strong-Tie is always looking for innovative ways to design and build safer, stronger structures. That’s why we’re excited to introduce the Edge-Tie system for curtain-wall and cladding connections in structural steel construction.
