Now you can add more resilience to structural steel projects. Ideal for new builds or retrofit work, the YLBC connects braced frames in structural steel buildings. It has bolted connections that simplify design. During extreme seismic or high-wind events, the YLBC isolates damage to the connection only — allowing the braced frame to remain intact. In addition, our Yield-Link technology tools make it easy to plan, model and document complete designs according to your unique specifications. These technology tools also make it easy to quickly locate beams and column holes during detailing and fabrication. Like other Simpson Strong-Tie products, the YLBC is widely available and backed by our industry-leading service and technical support.
With over 65 years of leadership in structural engineering, Simpson Strong-Tie offers proven solutions for structural steel. High-performance products like our Yield-Link® moment and brace connections and Edge-Tie™ system for cladding connections are tested, available and backed by our unmatched technical and onsite support. And our advanced software helps streamline design and detailing. With Simpson Strong-Tie as your partner in structural steel, you’ll work smarter and build stronger.
