CFS Designer software provides CFS Designers the ability to design CFS beam-column members according to AISI specifications and to analyze complex beam-loading and span conditions.įor more information, please visit our 2019 NASCC booth 1541 or visit our website at.The Quik Drive BSD200 and Quik Drive PROSDX150 auto-feed screw driving systems accelerate fastening for wide-valley nestable steel deck to structural steel members where the maximum load values of the Strong-Drive metal screws are required.Prior to coming to Simpson Strong-Tie in 2000, I was a design engineer for small and large commercial, institutional, residential and forensic projects designing with wood, cold-formed steel, structural steel, masonry and concrete for more than. Strong-Drive XL Large-Head and XM Medium-Head metal screws are load-tested and code-listed screws designed for steel-decking applications where high shear or uplift resistance is required. Author: Jeff Ellis I’m a licensed Civil and Structural Engineer in California, Hawaii and Illinois and have been a practicing engineer since 1991.In addition to the Yield-Link connection, Simpson Strong-Tie (booth 1541) will also showcase its latest connector and fastener solutions and software, including the following: “By eliminating field welding, the Yield-Link helps to reduce costs and improve jobsite efficiencies while still delivering a path to safer structural steel construction.” “The Yield-Link connection helps simplify and streamline structural steel connections made in the field without compromising structural strength” said Tim Ellis, market segment manager for structural steel at Simpson Strong-Tie. When designing CFS frames with sheathing, one will need to take into.

Software plugins to assist Designers, fabricators and erectors in incorporating the Yield-Link connections into their designs will be available for Steel Conference attendees to test-drive at the show. conservative designers by predicting deflection at different shear strength degrees. Designed to absorb forces in a seismic event, the Yield-Link connection requires no field welding and allows beams to be designed without supplemental lateral bracing, resulting in fewer fabricated steel elements and field connections.
