The Pavilion
High Strength Connectors are standardized, capacity-designed brace end connectors that accommodate bolted double-shear connections between round HSS braces and a typical corner gusset plate. By eliminating shear lag in the brace connection and standardizing connection details, the use of the connectors vastly simplifies connection design.
The Pavilion
As the connectors eliminate the need to field weld braces to the frame, they significantly speed erection and reduce the cost of special inspection.
The Pavilion
Through thoughtful design and a robust seismic bracing system in place, this exposed steel dream residence is sure to be enjoyed by generations to come.
