This full scale test demonstrated the Tectonus RSFJ technology as a damage avoidance seismic connection that provides highly ductile tension and compression braces with self centring capability.
These full scale test demonstrated the Tectonus RSFJ technology as effective seismic hold-downs which provide highly ductile rocking shearwalls with self-centring capability.
The MRF full scale test demonstrated the Tectonus RSFJ technology in a Moment Resisting Frame application. The Tectonus units performed in tension and compression and in this test were positioned at the bottom flange of the beam.
These full scale test demonstrated the Tectonus RSFJ technology in a cross-bracing system. With the Tectonus units the detrimental pinching effect that plagues the usual cross bracing systems was not present.
