While drilling concrete & installing anchors by local practices unseen cracks get developed and lead to significant changes in anchoring load transfer and performance. So bracket fixing in all positions need to be designed with cracked consideration. So let us understand how safety level of Fastening is linked to safety level of general Structure with a valid anchor approval.

One of the biggest concern in Datacenter operation is risk of "Downtime" which may happen due to combination of identified or unidentified reasons. Fire safety is one of key reason which causes business interruptions, damage to assets, brand image and business loss. Air flow control is also key pain point causing high opex and low energy efficiency, which can be controlled by exclusive system, also helps in getting fire required fire resistance.

Fire accident in a hospital is the biggest threat now-a-days where safe evacuation becomes challenging sometimes. We all know that Fire safety needs to be ensured through proper design, installation and regularly inspection. On referring available codes and standards, fire safety can be improvised by following combination of Active and Passive Fire protection. Active system contributes by supressing the fire and Passive system helps in containing the fire to its respective zone. Firestop solutions are the key components of Containment Principle which helps in restricting fire and smoke from one zone to another. This webinar has been designed to help owners/ designers to mitigate Health, Safety & Environmental challenges with Firestop solutions.

Fire protection systems can save lives and contain damage to a building during a fire. They’re also a legal requirement. Passive fire protection systems are designed to stop the spread of flames, smoke and toxic gases in a fire.They block gaps in walls, ceilings and floors caused by penetrations from pipes, cables and joints in fire-rated areas. So it’s important to include passive fire protection – firestop systems – in any building design, right from the start of a project. At Hilti we offer a wide range of code compliant firestop products, design software and technical support to help design and specify firestop systems.

In recent years, the construction industry has seen an increasing demand to reinstate, rejuvenate, strengthen and upgrade existing concrete structures. For this process we need to retrofit the existing structure based on the necessity. There involves number of stages in the process of retrofitting starting from Need for Retrofitting, Inspection, Retrofitting Method to be used, Products to Choose & Use Documentation. We do face hindrance at different stages, can it be made better.

Our cloud based complete connection design software for steel to concrete connection gives reliable and accurate results through Finite Element Analysis of the connection, integrates with software like STAAD Pro, ETABS, AutoCAD – increasing productivity, reducing duplication of work and improving value.

The webinar outlines the importance of designing the post-installed anchors in seismic conditions. While highlighting the design aspect using references from ETAG, the webinar also addresses the change in anchor behavior during an earthquake, seismic categories, qualification processes and design options.
