Abstract:
Understanding the impact of fire on structural building components
Understanding the impact of fire on structural building components is key for the structural engineers to design safer and more resilient structures. For concrete and masonry structures, engineers can use ACI/TMS 216.1 Code Requirements for Determining Fire Resistance of Concrete and Masonry Construction Assemblies to examine how cast-in building structural elements will be affected by exposure to the high temperatures of a fire. In this session, we will discuss how engineers can account for these fire and high heat conditions in their post-installed reinforcing bar designs for concrete-to-concrete connections.
Gain an overview of the working principles of mechanical fasteners and the factors influencing deck diaphragm design.
The structural community specifies roof and floor deck connections as traditional spot puddle welds, screw fasteners or mechanical fasteners. This course will identify the limitations of deck connection types and will bring awareness to the most consistent and reliable fastening approach.
