Lateral Systems
The Re-Fuse Braced Frame (RFBF) is a high-performance lateral
load resisting system with enhanced reparability characteristics
resulting in a highly resilient structure. The system consists of
traditional, rolled section brace members that are connected to
gusset plates via specially engineered, proprietary steel fuse elements. The fuse elements have unique geometry designed to
accommodate large inelastic deformations under extreme seismic or other hazardous events while the remaining structure is
intended to remain essentially elastic, thus undamaged. The fuse
elements are intended to be replaced if damaged in a significant
hazardous event. The fuse elements vary from 26 in. to 62 in. in
length and 37 to 91 lbs in weight. The relatively compact size
of the fuse elements allows for ease of handling by one or two
people without need for a crane. In addition to the obvious application of the primary lateral system for new construction, the
fuses can be transported through nearly any elevator, stairway, or
ladder access making the product highly suitable for renovation
and retrofit applications.

SpeedCore
Pipe Sleeve for Penetration
SpeedCore is a non-proprietary revolutionary system of composite structural-steel framing, aiming to replace common reinforced concrete core construction. The steel plate composite wall
system leverages the stiffness of concrete and the speed and accuracy of steel. The system removes the need for reinforcement
placed on site and the additional time for concrete curing which
typically sets the pace for building construction Embeds are no
longer a field-measured installation, reducing on-site coordination. Construction schedule savings and cost savings are dramatically demonstrated in the Rainier Square Tower (Seattle, WA)
project, designed by Magnusson Klemencic, & Associates. Any
fabricator can produce this innovative composite system.
