<h1>Steel Moment Frame Prequalified Connections</h1>
<p>
  Prequalified moment connections are structural steel moment connection
  configurations and details that have been reviewed by the AISC Connection
  Prequalification Review Panel (CPRP) and incorporated into the AISC 358
  standard. The criteria for prequalification are spelled out in the AISC
  seismic provisions, AISC 341. In short, AISC 341 contains performance and
  testing requirements that have been shown to produce robust moment
  connections, and AISC 358 includes connection details that meet those
  criteria. AISC 358-16 Prequalified Connections include the Simpson Strong-Tie
  moment connection in Chapter 12. Our larger links (up to 1" thick), larger
  beams (W36) and larger columns (W36) have been accepted into the AISC 358-16.
  Contact Simpson Strong-Tie for a final version of Chapter 12 of the document.
