This seminar provides an overview of Rainscreen principle, Potential problems with conventional cladding methods, Advanced cladding solutions, Undercut anchors for cladding panels and Project examples.

This seminar introduces the basic principles of Firestop, highlighting its importance as part of building construction, how it should be specified and the product types available. Covers current legislation and approvals, includes case studies demonstrating the impact fire accidents may have on building structures and the inhabitants and how products function under fire temperatures.

Seminar covers the Code of Practice for the selection and installation of post-installed anchors in concrete and masonry. It addresses the background to the introduction of the code (fixing failures causing injury and death) and outlines the roles and responsibilities of all the stakeholders, promoting safe use of anchors for safety critical applications.

Seminar provides essential overview about the latest design methods of anchor connections and introduces participants to the new BS 8539, highlighting engineers Roles and Responsibilities associated with the anchor selection. To reinforce learning, good practice and installation guidance, videos are shown demonstrating various anchor failure modes and their impact on anchor design. Design software C-Fix is used to show how anchor selection can be done promptly and safely, providing the user with an opportunity to value engineer their application in accordance with the latest design methods and the new BS.

Seminar describes instances where anchors have been wrongly designed or wrongly installed, causing accidents or danger to the general public and how they can be avoided. The purpose of the seminar is to highlight the importance of correct specification and installation and promote best practice in construction fixings.
