Post installed simpson stud or post product that can take moment? 1

I am trying to fix a wood cantilever wall with nothing but clips from the studs to the bottom plate. The wall moves by shaking it. I am hoping someone knows of a Simpson product that I can put on the bottom of the studs, that I can drill and epoxy into the footing to take some moment and hopefully stiffen this wall. May end up building a new post-framed wall in front and using the moment post base Simpson product, but I would prefer to find a product I can apply post-construction directly to the studs.

Aesur, Thar product was exactly what I was looking for, do you know of a post-installation post moment connection. The ones I am finding are all cast in place.
 
That product is a post-installed product. The TitenHD screw they indicate is a concrete screw.
 
I understand, I am wondering if anyone knows of an alternate product similar to a MPBZ that can be post installed
 
The RCKW is post installed, the anchor is a Titen or sim that you would design based on the load calc.
 
I will probably end up using those but they are a little weak for what I need. I'll make it work if its the best they have. I was just thinking a base like a MPBZ would be stronger, so i was hoping they would have a product that wrapped the bottom of the beam like a MPBZ but was able to be epoxied or titened in.
 
Make sure to check the stud deflection based on the clip stiffness that is listed in Simpson's literature
 
Makes sense, unfortunately those things aren't that strong as the eccentricities are too small. Normally I have have only gotten these to work at interior non-load bearing walls and had to install on ever stud.
 
If the anchorage doesn't work (for the smaller clips they only tabulate 1 7/8" edge distance), you can run it in Simpson anchor and so long as you take the lower value between the anchors failing and the clip itself failing you can increase those anchor loads a bit. You'd be limited to having to use 2 anchors per clip and not follow figure 2A-1 since I don't think Simpson will run single anchors for moment loads.
