Conx Chassis System, Purdue Ect Team
ECT Fact Sheets
Often referred to as a full-scale “Erector Set”, the ConX System applies technology to the building industry resulting in dramatic efficiencies. The systems approach is made possible by employing automated and efficient processes, from design through fabrication, shipping, and field assembly.

Hollo-Bolt®: Blind Connector For Structural Steelwork, Purdue Ect Team
ECT Fact Sheets
Structural steel connections for connecting to square, rectangular or circular structural tube or to conventional steel where access is available from one side only poses problems. A technology was needed which could provide a quicker and tidier installation than traditional methods such as welding, unsightly strapping or drilling and tapping holes. The invention of the Hollo-Bolt® provided such a solution.

Precast Concrete Beam-To-Column Connection System, Purdue Ect Team
ECT Fact Sheets
Compared to conventional concrete constructions, precast concrete is a better option which is more cost-effective for production, transport, and erection when columns and beams can be fabricated independently. The BSF connection is a hidden beam and connection for gravity loads that eliminates the need for projecting column corbels. From a steel box cast into the concrete beam end, a sliding steel “knife” plate with a safety notch is cantilevered into a steel box that has been cast into the concrete column.

Atlss Beam-To-Column Connections, Purdue Ect Team
ECT Fact Sheets
The ATLSS Connection (AC) is a new beam-to-column connection consisting of a tenon, which is bolted and welded to the end of the beam, and a mortise, which is attached to the column and into which the tenon is dropped. It is safer, easier, and faster to erect and fit-up than traditional beam-to-column connections.
