Simpson Strong-Tie’s Special Moment Frame

Simpson Strong-Tie designed its special moment frame’s yield link to absorb loads on large window or door openings in areas of seismic activity. The link can accommodate light, medium, and heavy yields, preventing damage to the beam and columns while eliminating the need for lateral bracing to the adjacent roof or floor.
