Special inserts are connected mechanically between rebar sections to give structural members the properties needed for seismic design. Seismic Fuse inserts are machined from high tensile steel of known characteristics.

They are connected to rebar with enlarged end diameter to give a full performance joint. Destructive testing of batch samples guarantees quality and performance, enabling seismic design criteria to be met.
