Strong-Link Moment Connection

The Strong-Link moment connection (SLMC) for structural steel applications is specifically designed for wind-governed areas, including seismic design categories A, B, and C. The high-strength SLMC streamlines the design process for specifiers and steel contractors. A fully bolted solution, it eliminates the need for field welding, reducing labor and inspection costs while speeding up installation. The SLMC is field-adjustable, ensuring optimal alignment at the connection interface between the beam and column.

2025 PIA Judge's Comments

"There are other proprietary bolted moment connections, but Strong-Link’s emphasis on wind-governed buildings and open detailing tools is its differentiator. This is a genuinely new, open, fully bolted steel moment connection that simplifies design and construction for wind-governed buildings. It stands out by eliminating field welding and licensing fees while providing robust engineering tools."
