Information about Tie (engineering)
)
A simple "hurricane" or seismic tie for use in "stick" construction
A tie is any strong component designed to keep two objects closely linked together.
Among the most common of these is the "hurricane" or seismic tie used in the framing of wooden structures. Each of the common ways for wooden members to meet in a traditional structure has a corresponding type of tie, generally made of galvanized steel and designed to resist shear forces. Most such ties are shaped to form a sleeve around at least one piece of dimensional lumber (the one shown is an exception to this rule), and all have holes allowing them to be fastened to the wood using nails of a designated size and type. Screws are never used due to their poor shear strength.

Steel is an alloy consisting mostly of iron, with a carbon content between 0.02% and 1.7 or 2.04% by weight (C:1000–10,8.67Fe), depending on grade. Carbon is the most cost-effective alloying material for iron, but various other alloying elements are used such as manganese and

Shear stress is a stress state where the stress is parallel or tangential to a face of the material, as opposed to normal stress when the stress is perpendicular to the face. The variable used to denote shear stress is τ (tau).
