Few millimeters of thermal movement can create significant forces in a piping system. If not properly managed, thermal expansion can lead to excessive loads, support failures, equipment damage, leaks, and costly rework. Join our expert-led webinar to learn how engineers can predict, control, and accommodate thermal expansion in HVAC, chilled water, heating, plumbing, refrigeration, and industrial piping systems.

After completing this webinar, you will be able to easily include supplementary reinforcement in your designs which will give you a massive advantage where concrete cone or concrete edge failures give your designs high utilization percentages.

EOTA TR069 is the new design method to design the post-installed rebar applications. There are fundamental theoretical changes on how we look at post-installed rebar design.

Passive fire protection plays a crucial part in a comprehensive fire and life safety strategy. Small design details often get overlooked by Fire Engineers. This not only compromises the integrity of the whole strategy but could also endanger the lives of the occupants of a building should a fire erupt.

This course will provide you an extensive knowledge on two different methodologies for base plate design and analysis. We explain AISC Design Guide 1 and dive into the details of this method, look at assumptions that help simplify the design and analysis of base plates using this method. Then we transition into our second type of base plate design methodology based on Finite element Analysis and then lead into Component Based FEA. You will find hand calculation methods and Profis Engineering examples at the end of some chapters.

Code changes might be complicated or hard to find on your own. We would like to clarify lots of those changes that happened with EC2-4 in this webinar. You will also learn why it is so important to have all the components of assessment criteria (EAD), technical data (ETA) and design method (EN 1992-4) to understand the system behind construction designs.

When you finish this webinar, you will be equipped with every aspect of Profis Engineering software usage. You will briefly understand the difference of Rigid and Non-Rigid base plate calculations. You will find videos on how to activate your account and you will learn how to get support when you need it (Although if the short videos are choppy we recommend you to use the videos on How-To section of our website). Finally we will give you couple of examples on anchoring to concrete and anchoring to masonry modules.

If you are interested in learning common BIM terms, overall BIM trends in the world, Hilti tools and digital resources regarding BIM and unique BIM services that you can request which will enhance your designs and optimize your costs, you should watch this series completely.

A building’s facade can be one of its most striking features. Yet, behind the scenes multiple components are necessary to ensure the façade is safe and enduring. This course provides an overview of some of the necessary elements for successful façade design and construction.

Connection of reinforcing bars might not go as planned as designed in the jobsite. The possibility of misplaced bars and omitted or forgotten bars is always present. The reasons might be either human error or revision of the project however, whatever the reasons might be, usage of post-installed bars with chemical anchors will always be another way of continuing to the relevant application or project. Correct installation and load transfer is essential in post-installed rebar applications and whether you are a designer or a contractor, you have to take many circumstances into account while deciding on how to proceed with your application. This webinar will cover how reinforcing bars can be designed in accordance with the provisions of Eurocode 2, and post-installed using an adhesive system qualified per the provisions of the EOTA TR 023 "Assesment of post-installed rebar connections"
