HALF DAY TALK ON POST-INSTALLED CONNECTION TECHNOLOGIES - ASSESSMENT AND DESIGN WITH DESIGN SOFTWARE
Place: Seminar Room IEMNS | City: Seremban, Malaysia
SYNOPSIS TALK
“Post-installed Connection Technologies:
Assessment and Design with Design Software”
Designing steel-to-concrete and concrete-to-concrete connections following the latest local and international codes can be a very challenging task, given that these topics are not widely discussed in technical forums and not within the scope of any undergraduate civil engineering degree syllabus.
The first session will share how the latest Malaysian Standard can help structural engineers to achieve code-compliant post-installed fastening design. In 2021, Department of Standards Malaysia (DSM) has formed a Working Group with members representing government agencies, regulators, manufacturers, research agencies, certifying bodies, academia, builders and consultants to work on the adoption of EN1992-4 Design of concrete structures - Part 4: Design of fastenings for use in concrete for Malaysia, and to produce its National Annex. The MS EN 1992-4 was successfully launched in December 2023. This new standard offers an opportunity for engineers to design and install anchors in such a way that our buildings and infrastructure are safer and more reliable. This session will look into the understanding and learning of post-installed fastening designs from the regulatory framework and qualification, the latest Malaysian Standard EN 1992-4 design, influencing factors, installation, and how to specify them accordingly. Also, the use of design software will be demonstrated.
The second session will focus on the post-installed rebars (PIR). Concrete-to-concrete connection is very common in the Malaysian construction industry. PIR is widely used to connect new structural components to existing concrete structures. The types of connections between concrete members can be grouped into three categories, i.e,. Lap splices, end anchorages, and shear dowels. In this session, we will be discussing on the qualification, assessment, design PIR according to MS EN 1992-1-1 (2010) provision and EOTA Technical Reports (TR069), and guide for PIR installation at jobsite, to help designer understand not only on the design requirement, but also how to ensure the execution as per design.
