Introduction to Eurocode 2 Part 4 for Anchor Design - Singapore

With the national adoption of EC2-4 for baseplate design in Singapore, engineers in Singapore must develop a comprehensive understanding of Eurocode, including the history and testing procedures. In this webinar, we will be going through the assessment criteria, technical data and design method and how all three of these fall under the system.

There are some changes to the scope and resistance determination resistance for static loads in EC2-4. This webinar will be going through the scope, general changes and the resistance determination for tension, shear and combined loads.

Overview of design provisions under static conditions in shear forces condition Key points that will be discussed during the session. • Typical Modes of Failures of Anchors - Recap • Design Steps of Anchors in Shear • Design Steps of Anchors in Combination (Tension & Shear) • How can you design anchors in the simple and easy way?

Overview of fastening design provisions under fire conditions Key points that will be discussed during the session. • Concept of adequate fire resistance • Design steps of fastening under fire • How can you design anchors in the simple and easy way?

The topic of equivalency can often times be misinterpreted and misunderstood when it comes to post installed anchors. There are many parameters which govern the behaviors of post installed anchors which must be designed in a while to ensure connection safety to safeguard lives and assets. No two types of anchors are the same even when supplied by the same manufacturer. Each anchor may exhibit variations in load displacement behavior due to plating, sleeve dimensions, geometry and others. However, such parameters are accounted for in a standardized qualification framework known as European Technical Approval Guidelines (ETAG) 001. Under ETAG 001, there are tests and assessments conducted by independent third parties to determine the baseline resistance values. It also contains comprehensive details relevant for use in design. In this seminar, we will evaluate the basis of equivalency for post-installed anchors.

With the newly adopted Eurocode 2-4 in Singapore, it allows engineers to incorporate reinforement calculations of post installed anchors. Eurocode 2-4 provides a design method to designed reinforcement specifically to prevent concrete breakouts (tension and shear). In this webinar, we will be going through the working principles for supplementary reinforcement along with some working examples to help you design fastenings with supplementary reinforcement
