Double RICON XL Beam Hanger _ Full-Scale Seismic Drift Performances

Описание: Have you ever doubled up connectors in your designs?

Here’s what happened when we put a double RICON S VS configuration through full-scale seismic testing—backed by results from two different universities.

We put our double RICON connectors through rigorous tests: a full-scale, full-load seismic testing at the University of Northern British Columbia, with results validated against component-level testing at Queen’s University.

📊 What we found:
• Full-frame testing showed individual connectors reaching over 4% drift while still supporting full design load
• Component testing showed 6.9% drift—nearly identical to single RICON performance
• No meaningful difference in seismic behavior compared to single configuration

🔁 Thanks to these two test methods the RICON S VS is proven to be:
✅ Reliable.
✅ Repeatable.
✅ Ready for seismic zone designs.
