Why is Tru-Frame better than conventional moment frame designs?

0

Conventional moment frame design has become extremely complex and costly after required modifications resulting from failures during the 1994 Northridge Earthquake. The Tru-Frame system provides a dramatically more elegant approach in reducing force levels and controlling energy dissipation within specially designed yielding mechanisms. This can be done at substantial savings in both time and money to the owner while providing a structure with a very predictable and high level of performance.
