Cast structural connectors

摘要: A cast structural connector connects a member, such as hollow section (HSS) or wide flange (W) to frame. The is particularly suited for lateral bracing and includes first end configured receive the member be welded second connecting frame, an intermediate portion. bevelling allowing compatibility with members of varying sizes enabling complete joint penetration welding thereby developing full axial strength member. portion provides transmission forces frame deforms, example, under severe seismic conditions, can include flexural plastic hinge connected by standard fabricated connection, gusset plate. Casting manufacturing allows mass production connector.
