Along with the Yield-Link\u00ae moment connection and Edge-Tie\u2122 system for cladding connections, the Yield-Link brace connection gives fabricators, erectors, engineers, building owners and contractors a tested, more economical solution for structural steel construction. The YLBC is code listed in ICC-ESR-4342.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Yield-Link brace connection provides structural steel engineers and specifiers with a design-friendly, fully tested product. Fabricators and erectors will appreciate how fast and easy it is to install,\u201d says Tim Ellis, business development manager for structural steel at Simpson Strong-Tie. \u201cFor building owners, the YLBC reduces costs and construction time and helps provide a safe, resilient structure.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Backed by technical field support and integrated into several widely used design and detailing software tools, the YLBC joins a growing suite of proven structural steel construction solutions designed to simplify design and installation while enhancing building strength and resilience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information on the YLBC, including an installation video, visit\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/shorts\/LhfbpMdV2ao\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/4Q5fCHamFqA<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pleasanton, Calif. \u2014\u00a0Simpson Strong-Tie, the leader in engineered structural connectors and building solutions, has introduced the Yield-Link\u00ae brace connection (YLBC), an innovative structural steel solution for dissipating energy through a fuse connection, creating a resilient steel frame that protects the beam column and brace during seismic and wind events.
