The Strong Frame™ ordinary moment frame simplifies anchorage:

• Streamlined footing design: Pre‑engineered anchorage solutions simplify the design process. No more tedious anchor calculations, just select the solution that fits your footing geometry and you are done.
• Two pre-engineered anchorage options available: The OMFSL anchorage assembly places the frame flush with the edge of concrete allowing it to fit into a standard 2x6 wall without bump‑outs or furring. The OMFAB tied‑anchorage assembly is designed for use where a 2x8 wall is acceptable.
• Pre‑assembled anchor‑bolt assemblies: Anchor bolts are pre‑assembled on a template that mounts on the form. This helps ensure correct anchor placement for trouble‑free installation of columns.
• Field flexibility to address anchor location issues: Connections can be shimmed to provide up to 1/2" of adjustment when anchor bolts are misaligned.
• Reusable layout tool for reliable anchor location: Optional Universal Template Locator (UTL) allows precise placement of anchor‑bolt assemblies for both columns, helping to ensure correct positioning.
• Post‑installed anchorage solutions available for prescriptive applications: Simpson Strong‑Tie® adhesive anchor solutions as well as the Simpson Strong‑Tie Titen HD® screw anchor for prescriptive applications.
