No longer are moment frames time-intensive and labor-intensive to install. The Strong Frame® special and ordinary moment frames by Simpson Strong-Tie are cost-effective alternatives to traditional, site-built moment frames.
Our moment frames offer the level of quality and innovation that has become synonymous with Simpson Strong-Tie. Our special moment frames feature Yield-Link™ Structural Fuses that enable frames to be repaired after a seismic event by removing the yielded fuses and bolting on new ones. The frame can remain in the structure during repair. With 100% bolted connections, there is no need for welding, which reduces the risk of fire.
- Pre-designed moment frame solutions: Designers can choose from hundreds of pre-engineered frames. Solutions provided for both prescriptive wind and seismic areas.
- 100% bolted connections: Install frames faster with no field welding required. No need to have a welder on site, or a special welding inspector.
- Prescriptive wall bracing solutions: Design the most common framing applications in just five easy steps.
- Code Listed: The Strong Frame special moment frame is code listed under ICC-ES ESR-2802. The Strong Frame ordinary moment frame is code listed under IAPMO UES ER-164.
- Custom-order sizes: Our made-to-order Strong Frame program can quickly specify, manufacture and deliver any sized frame; multi-bay and multi-story solutions available..
