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
