Brace Z600, a wooden brace joint hardware that resiliently withstands repeated major earthquakes.
In wooden houses, multiple large tremors can cause the braces that support the building to come loose or become damaged. In such cases, the seismic performance of the building can rapidly decline, posing a risk of collapse. The "Blaster Z600" enhances the building's resilience by using special slits that deform to reduce damage to the braces. ■Features (1) Three-point fastening (column, foundation (beam), brace) ensures reliable load-bearing performance. (2) Wall amplification ratios of 1.5x, 2.0x, and 3.0x certified (House Plus Inspection Co., Ltd.) (3) Dynamic testing (shake table experiments) confirms the toughness effect. *For more details, please refer to the catalog.
