Simpson Strong-Tie Hosts SteelDay Attendees at Yield-Link Production Facility
Simpson Strong-Tie, the leader in engineered structural connectors and building solutions, in conjunction with SteelDay, the annual celebration of the structural steel industry sponsored by the American Institute of Steel Construction, will unveil its Voortman MSI as part of a tour for SteelDay attendees at the company’s facility in Riverside, CA, where the Yield-Link® moment connection is tested and fabricated.
Designed to absorb forces in a seismic event, the Yield-Link connection requires no field welding and allows beams to be designed without supplemental lateral bracing, resulting in fewer fabricated steel elements and field connections to help reduce onsite labor costs, licensing fees and construction time for contractors.
