History

edit

Formed in 1998, The Steel Network was the original developer of Applied Science International's SteelSmart System software. TSN transitioned into manufacturing soon after with the development of the first cold-formed steel connectors for Vertical deflection conditions in commercial light steel framing. Since then, TSN has created cold-formed steel solutions for mechanical bridging,[2] non-loadbearing wall,[3] moment resisting walls,[4] deep leg track,[5] built-up posts,[6] strap bracing shear walls,[7] mid-rise construction,[8] continuous rigid insulation, seismic and blast design,[9] and progressive collapse[10]
