WEBDuraFuse Frames put the steel weight where it helps the most. Rather than using bulky inefficient connections, DuraFuse Frames optimizes connections to put plate where it is needed, and optimizes beam and column sizes to obtain a lower overall total weight (beams, columns, and connections).
Technical Bulletins - DuraFuse Frames
WEBA post-earthquake evaluation of the steel frame confirmed perfect performance of the DuraFuse Frames DF360 system during the event, with no damage to the steel frames. DuraFuse Frames systems are the most resilient steel …
About - DuraFuse Frames
WEBWith successful test results, code approvals were obtained, and DuraFuse Frames, LLC was created to help engineers, contractors, and building owners adopt this technology for their own buildings. The technology has been widely accepted since it improves building resilience and reduces costs.
FAQs - DuraFuse Frames
WEBWhy are DuraFuse Frames the “Resilient” seismic solution? DuraFuse Frames have patented fuse plates that prevent beam and column damage during severe earthquakes. This reduces expected downtime and repair costs as compared to other framing options.
WEBConclusions that the DuraFuse Frames connection can be accurately modeled in ETABS. The beam-to-column connection is considered to be fully restrained (FR) and the panel zone stifness is modeled with the scissor method or pl

For Contractors - DuraFuse Frames
WEBDuraFuse Frames are faster to fabricate and erect than other steel frames. There is no field-welding for the connections and there is no “threading the needle” to get the beams to fit.
WEBve for the DuraFuse Frames connection was developed for use in nonlinear analysis. The backbone curve is based on test ng results of full-scale, one-sided DuraFuse (DF) bolted steel moment connections. This joint backbone
