  1. MORSE TECHNOLOGIESRisk Management System For commercial & residential Wood Frame Deck Construction

  2. MORSE TECHNOLOGIESRisk Management System Based on the Concept of “SHEAR STRENGTH”

  3. MORSE TECHNOLOGIESRisk Management System RISK ASSESSMENT FOR RESIDENTIAL DECKS 1. IRC 2000 Safety Code Compliance 2. Band Board Pullout & Deck Collapse 3. Handrail Resistance to Lateral Loads 4. Consistent Level of Quality - house to house - site to site - state to state

  4. MORSE TECHNOLOGIESRisk Management System IRC 2000 SAFETY CODE COMPLIANCE Current residential deck construction methods and materials do not comply: * “Decks must be designed for lateral forces generated by a live load on the deck…” * “Deck handrails must resist a minimum lateral force of 200 lb with a factor of safety of 2.5…”

  5. MORSE TECHNOLOGIESRisk Management System Bandboard Pullout and Deck Collapse occur because the attachment is not designed to resist the forces generated by a potential capacity live load on the deck.

  6. MORSE TECHNOLOGIESRisk Management System Handrail catastrophic failure occurs because the handrail post attachment is not designed to do it’s job: to guard the outside edge of the deck and protect people.

  7. MORSE TECHNOLOGIESRisk Management System Quality & Consistency vary by: * individual personnel * subcontractors * project supervision * State standards * the day of the week

  8. MORSE TECHNOLOGIESRisk Management System The DECKLOK Bracket System is the engineered solution to the risks associated with the design and construction with wood; houses, decks, atrium landings, pool enclosures, gazebos… …Design it - DeckLok will lock it in!

  9. MORSE TECHNOLOGIESRisk Management System The DECKLOK Bracket System provides: * Certified IRC 2000 and IRC 2003 Safety Code Compliance * Conformity with current construction methods and techniques * Uniform Design and Application * Consistent Level of Quality in the Field

  10. MORSE TECHNOLOGIESRisk Management System Certified Testing results: * The DECKLOK Bracket System resists the maximum live lateral load on a typical deck. * The DECKLOK Bracket System resists a lateral handrail load between 525 and 1400 lb/f.

  11. MORSE TECHNOLOGIESRisk Management System The DECKLOK Bracket System redirects the attachment load and places the resistance to the force in shear. This produces the strongest possible attachment for each of the deck connections.

  12. MORSE TECHNOLOGIESRisk Management System In addition to strength, the design of the DECKLOK Bracket allows for ductile failure which minimizes the potential of catastrophic failure of the rail post. Failed at 525 lbs

  13. MORSE TECHNOLOGIESRisk Management System DECKLOK Brackets are designed for integration with your project: * drill and bolt-on * handrail post location determines the bracket placement, not the other way around.

  14. MORSE TECHNOLOGIESRisk Management System The DECKLOK Bracket System allows for a uniform approach to the design and installation of the deck. Changes to home models and layout will not affect the use or the effectiveness of the DECKLOK Bracket.

  15. MORSE TECHNOLOGIESRisk Management System The DECKLOK Bracket System ensures consistent quality across the board: * every state * every project * every house
