In-Collaboration with Halfen Moment Malaysia Sdn Bhd


SYNOPSIS

As Eurocodes continue to develop, the next natural progression for the design of concrete structures (Eurocode 2) was to include the connections that are made between concrete and other building components. The design principles for this standard have been around for many years since the publication of the Concrete Capacity Method, but after much deliberation and many different publications, the principles have finally been codified and become a part of Eurocode 2.

This is a full day specialized workshop will include the following topics:

•     Common design principles and development of EN1992-4
•     Detailed anchoring principles of cast in channel
•     Health issues relating to anchoring in concrete
•     Case studies and innovative installation methods for cast in channel

This knowledge can be applied by:

•     The structural design community, particularly those with a focus on concrete;
•     Relevant trade bodies and member associations;
•     Structural/civil engineering consultancy services, to understand the most rounded view on the impact of the EN1992-4:2018 Eurocode 2 standard.


OBJECTIVES

To create awareness for designers and engineers on the new updates of this new Eurocode
•     To promote the importance of safety and quality of fastening/ concrete anchoring technology
•     To emphasise on important engineering considerations
•     To share the different types of fastening and connection systems with various applications
•     To provide a forum for exchange of view among the engineers.
