SYNOPSIS

Precast connections ensure safety and durability of a precast building. The demand for precast connection types vary among different precast products, local building conditions and restrictions, and loads on the structure.

HEK connection system offers a fast and efficient dry connection between precast concrete members, which has become very successful in precast concrete building developments in the Netherlands. By showing several applications in a wide range of projects, mainly in the housing industry, this presentation can also bring ideas for dry connections between precast members and other applications.

This 2-hour webinar will provide understanding on the HEK connection system and the different types of precast concrete connections available in the market for different applications. This knowledge can be applied by practicing engineers, consultants, designers, and the industry to broaden their knowledge on how these innovative solutions can play a big role on precast structural integrity with shorter construction time.
