Novel Structures, LLC is an innovator of structural systems and building products. Novel’s team of highly experienced structural designers and researchers focuses on the development of pragmatic and economical solutions to common inefficiencies in vertical construction.
As the initial inventors of what is now the Yield-Link® Brace Connection (YLBC) by Simpson Strong-Tie, Novel can advise on the appropriate lateral systems for new and existing buildings. Novel is a consultant to Simpson Strong-Tie and can perform comparative designs using YLBC. www.strongtie.com/solutions/steel-construction/yield-link-brace-connection
Novel is also the inventor of a proprietary shallow-floor steel system. In collaboration with steel fabricator Puma Steel, Novel and Puma are the exclusive provider of the system, which can reduce floor-to-floor heights and construction durations in comparison to traditional methods. Unlike other steel or hybrid solutions, the shallow-floor system uses traditional steel components and processes offering the flexibility structural steel is known for.
