Predetermined break-away force restraints

MAURER break-away force restraints transfer the interacting horizontal forces from use and bearing loads like conventional structural bearings. When selecting mechanical properties and break mechanisms with closest tolerances these devices will purposefully malfunction at predefined loads and protect the structure from overstraining by the subsequent isolation of the subsoil. MAURER predetermined break-away force restraints for example are available as block shear connectors and telescopic appliance.
