A practical update on how ER95 reshapes responsibilities for non‑structural elements, what EN 1992‑4 means for anchor design, and how to make the right call on C1 vs C2 in overhead applications.
Overhead fixings are where design intent, construction reality and consent scrutiny converge. In this fast‑paced session, we translate the new Code of Practice for the Seismic Performance of Non‑Structural Elements (ER95) into day‑to‑day engineering choices for services, ceilings and equipment supports. We’ll connect ER95’s coordination and QA expectations with the anchor design workflow now governed by EN 1992‑4 (which supersedes TR 045), and the NZ standards designers rely on—NZS 3101 §17.5.5. You’ll leave with clear criteria for when C1 vs C2 is appropriate across NZ hazard levels, how to handle underside‑of‑slab, metal deck and hollow‑core constraints, and how to produce tidy, consent‑ready submittals (spec clauses, calcs and ER95‑aligned QA checklists). We’ll also demonstrate efficient design/reporting workflows with the use of Profis Engineering.
