Special topics like design of heavy duty anchors, latest design software, European Technical Approvals, anchors performance in fire and corrosion of fixings can also be included. Not available in Northern Ireland.

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.

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.
