RESIX CONNECTION SYSTEM - GLULAM STRUCTURES
The aesthetic and performing connection system
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).

MODULARITY
The modularity of the Résix® is visible with three types of assembly which all answer to particular needs
ROD SYSTEM
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 :
- Longevity of the resin
- Controlled behavior for fire resistant connections
- Good behavior after dynamic stress (earthquake)
- Strength in tension and compression more than 100 Tons
DESIGN
Our technical department is available to design and optimize your projects with the benefits of Resix® system.
ADVANTAGES OF RESIX® CONNECTION SYSTEM
CALCULATED RIGIDITY OF CONNECTIONS ALLOWING FOR MORE VISUAL DESIGN
The cost-effectiveness
- Giving flexibility for transport
- Split of the long beams with moment-resistant connections
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
- Aesthetic steel parts
- Concealed connections with no visible bolts
EXCELLENT STIFFNESS OF THE CONNECTIONS
- Exceptional mechanical strength
- Equal distribution of the stress in the connection
BETTER SUSTAINABILITY OF STRUCTURES
- Controlled fire resistance
- Resin durability confirmed by aging tests
- Improvement of the lifespan of the structure (no slot and drilling)
MODULARITY IN THE CONNECTIONS WITH DIFFERENT MATERIALS
- Timber/Timber
- Timber/Steel
- Timber/Concrete
USES OF RESIX® CONNECTIONS
HOUSING - TIMBER RESTORATION PROJECTS
The Resix® system can also be used for restoration of existing older structures. Epoxy resin has great bonding properties to all porous materials and has proven longevity in the field of old building restoration.
HOUSING - TIMBER STRUCTURE REINFORCEMENT
The Resix® system is also used for beam reinforcements in case of strength issues or damage.
In cases where a problem such as significant cracks has appeared that can impair the structural performance and function.
EXAMPLE OF REINFORCEMENT
- Notched beams with cracks
- Timber portal frames with cracks in the bolted haunch
- Curved tapered beams with cracks in the apex due to tension perpendicular to grain
