Wooden structure connector RÉSIX®

The Resix® connection combines 3 elements : high quality glulam (CE marked), high tensile steel threaded rods and high-performance epoxy resin. Simonin’s technology gives benefits in every kind of project (private, public, industrial…), for any form and for any kind of structure. A full range of testing has been carried out for its application: unitary pulling tests, large scale pulling tests, moment resistant connection tests, fire tests, dynamic tests in different laboratories (FCBA, CSTB, ENSTIB, CRITTBOIS). All the proof of performance has enabled us to obtain the certificate Avis Technique (French technical approval) describing the characteristics of this glued-in rods system: Strength in tension and compression more than 100 Tons Controlled behavior for fire resistant connections Good behavior after dynamic stress (earthquake) Longevity of the resin Our technical department is available to design and optimize your projects with the benefits of Resix® system. Advantages of Resix® connection system A greater architectural freedom: allowing innovation and design of new structures A more visual appeal in regards to rendering with trimmed connections Concealed connections with no visible bolts Aesthetic steel parts Excellent stiffness of the connections Equal distribution of the stress in the connection Exceptional mechanical strength Better sustainability of structures Controlled fire resistance Improvement of the lifespan of the structure (no slot and drilling) Resin durability confirmed by aging tests Modularity in the connections with different materials Timber/Timber Timber/Steel Timber/Concrete
