Summary
Cast High Strength
Steel Connectors
for Building Structures
|
|
The steel casting
connector offers the following design and engineering benefits.
-
A
mechanical design with integrated features, reduced stress
concentrations, and isotropic properties.
-
A
functional design with reduced detailing and fabrication time,
well-controlled welding methods, and simplified assembly with
straight-forward field bolting.
-
A
standardized design with wide application to different load
requirements that eliminates the need for one-off design of
connectors.
