As the recognized leader in both holdown and continuous rod tiedown technology,
and cutting-edge engineering concepts, Simpson Strong‑Tie introduces the
next-generation Anchor Tiedown System. ATS is a combination of components
selected to most economically satisfy the demand loads and performance
requirements of the structure designed under the more stringent design
requirements, including structural, seismic and shrinkage criteria, of the revised
building code. Similar to the system used in the Capstone test, this new ATS
is designed to meet the performance needs of mid-rise structures. Moreover,
our unparalleled engineering and field support – from design through product
installation — continues to foster the peace of mind Designers have come to
expect from Simpson Strong‑Tie.

To ensure structural stability, a continuous rod tiedown system can be used in a multi-storey wood-framed structure
to resist shearwall overturning and roof uplift.
Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Rod™ Systems have been extensively tested by our engineering staff at our state-of-the-art,
accredited labs. Our testing and expertise have been crucial in providing customers with code-listed solutions.
The Strong-Rod ATS is code-listed in the United States under the International Code Council evaluation report
ICC-ES ESR-2320.

Simpson Strong-Tie is here to help you. We provide
pre-engineered runs as well as highly skilled and
complimentary design services to help engineers with
their continuous rod design. Since no two buildings
are alike, each project is optimally designed to the
Designer’s individual specifications. Run-assembly

Strong-Rod ™ Systems for Multi-Storey Overturning Restraint
1. Unless specifically requested, anchor bolts are not included in the system runs.
2. Post design is based on the tension capacity of the system. The Designer is responsible for verifying that the wood posts
are capable of resisting all required load combinations.
3. Total vertical displacement of each storey, or between restraints, meets the 0.30" or 7.6 mm for regular-strength
Strong-Rod™ runs. High-strength Strong-Rod runs exceed the total vertical displacement limit of 0.30" or 7.6 mm for
each storey. The total vertical displacement limit may be exceeded if it can be demonstrated that the shearwall drift limit
and deformation compatibility are met when accounting for all sources of vertical displacements. Total vertical displacement
of the individual pre-engineered runs assumes 6' rod length at the top storey and 8' rod length plus 14" floor depth
(including wall plates) for all other storeys.
4. See design example on pages 42–43 for use of these tables.
5. Designer is responsible for verifying that the cumulative tension demand forces do not exceed the factored tensile
resistance shown. See step 2 in design example on page 43.
6. Top-storey system capacity assumes top-plate termination. For bridge block termination, reduce top-storey capacity as
per page 38.
