ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for tying building components together or to the ground utilizes a system of spring-tensioned cables strung between the foundation and the top corners of any shear diaphragm. The cables are kept under tension regardless of the shrinkage of wooden components, providing evenly-distributed compression on the structure's framing members.
