Fire Design of Post-Installed Rebar Applications
Fire Design of Post-Installed Rebar Applications
Fire incidents remain a major risk to life and property, potentially weakening concrete structures and causing collapse. Structural fire safety is therefore essential in building codes such as the Eurocodes, which set minimum fire resistance requirements for structural elements and connections to ensure safe evacuation, effective rescue, and controlled fire suppression.
HILTI HST4: PERFORMANCE THAT MATCHES CAST-IN HEADED FASTENERS
HILTI HST4: PERFORMANCE THAT MATCHES CAST-IN HEADED FASTENERS
HST4 is a high-performing stud anchor with a unique design that allows for variable embedment depth and improved resistance to concrete cone failure, ultimately resulting in a tensile resistance higher than ever before. It has a broad approval range to cover your application requirements and ensure code compliance. It is compatible with Hilti's installation systems, supporting a reliable installation.
Building for longevity – extending the design working life of fastenings & connections in concrete to 120 years
Building for longevity – extending the design working life of fastenings & connections in concrete to 120 years
Searching for fastenings in concrete that can be designed and assessed for an extended design working life of up to 120 years in accordance with European standards and approvals? This article explains the relevant framework and how selected Hilti SPEC2SITE solutions can support such designs.
