Fast-Tracked SCBF calls for High Strength Connectors

To vastly accelerate the fabrication and erection of the special concentrically steel braced frames (SCBF) for this industrial project in Livingston, California, the Structural Engineer of Record called for the use of CAST CONNEX^® High Strength Connectors™ to meet the high seismic load demands placed on these frames and their connections. The use of High Strength Connectors in conjunction with intelligent connection detailing throughout the frame completely eliminated all field-welding in the primary structural system, vastly reducing erection time and schedule risk.
