In case, concrete cone failure calculation, for EC2 part 2 is calculated with pyramid shape, In the fact that, concrete breaks is with cone-shaped. Why we use pyramid shape instead of cone-shaped? This impacts on precision results? Thank you!

Base material is RC. CP636 is out of stock so was thinking to use CP637 instead. What advantage does CP637 has since it can be used for load-bearing applications?

Please advise what product can used for big opening e:g 3 m x 3 m blank opening?

Can I design with just 1 layer of rebar instead of 2 (top and bottom) in PROFIS Rebar?

How do i calculate CP653 Firestop Capacity? especially when it have mixed cable bundle? can we assume percentage of total cross section?

Can you please help to provide a real-life photo of Hilti SOFA method on site? Some of our specifiers do not know how it SOFA looks like when the annular gaps are filled.

Hi, I ticked the anchor reinforcement for tension and shear, but tin the report, no reinforcement is shown. How to design this anchor reinforcement?

For firestop on construction joint application, would there be any effect on the performance/effect (adhesion of styropor on sealant) if styropor would be used as the backing material?

May I know the difference between EN1992-4 based and ETAG based design method selection. In which condition should I choose ETAG based design? Bundle of thanks

Can we obtain a reasonable capacity of an inclined anchor? The design load is very low but the anchors were installed at an angle(45degrees)/not perpendicular due to heavy presence of slab reinforcement. Hence, we need to justify the capacity of the already installed anchor.
