Peikko is the first company to introduce seismic-proof precast bolted column connections
Peikko originally developed and introduced the bolted column connection to the markets back in 1980’s. The connection and its design tools have been further developed extensively during the last 30 years. As the pinnacle of development, Peikko has introduced a tested and reliable bolted column connection for seismic zones that complies to current design code requirements. The main objective in seismic design is to ensure that the building can withstand an earthquake without collapsing. Most design approaches solve this by keeping a certain reserve of strength in the structures.
