Introduction

Fire disasters happen frequently all over the world. There is no location or application where fire hazard does not need to be considered. To help you understand the importance of fire design, how different materials behave under the influence of fire, and what the Eurocode says about post-installed anchors and reinforcing bars in case of fire exposure, we have create this specific course.

This course provides an overview of the requirements of EN1992-4 and EOTA TR 082 for the design of fire resistance of mechanical and chemical anchor. The course will also guide you through the design of anchors with PROFIS Engineering and the selection of the most suitable Hilti anchors. The content has been prepared by Hilti experts and is available in free E-Learning mode.

These modules will help you understand how to optimize the fire design of structural connections!

Key Points

The course provides a solid foundation on fire design for structural connections.

The course will bring you the following benefits:

  • Understand the importance of fire design also through the understanding of recent catastrophic fire events.
  • Know the three different fire resistance criteria defined by the Eurocode and determine the most common fire curves for different applications.
  • Design mechanical and chemical anchors according to EN1992-4 and EOTA TR 082 standards using PROFIS Engineering.9
  • It will also be possible to download the certificate of participation.
