Firestop System and Airflow Control

Siew Ting N.
Reading time: < 10 minutes
Hospitals present unique safety challenges. Firstly, many occupants have limited mobility, which increases evacuation time during a fire. This makes effective fire containment and compartmentalization essential to support safe, phased evacuation. Secondly, as mission-critical facilities, hospitals must remain operational during and after a fire event. Fire protection systems therefore need to minimize damage and help ensure continuity of essential services.

HOW POST-INSTALLED ANCHOR WORKS UNDER DIFFERENT LOADING CONDITIONS?

Siew Ting N.
Reading time: < 10 minutes
This article briefly discusses working mechanisms of mechanical and bonded anchors, i.e., mechanical interlock / keying, friction, adhesion bond etc. Examples are shown with popular Hilti anchors for each type of working mechanism. Failure modes (steel and concrete related) due to tension and shear loading are discussed with description of the failure, 3D representation and jobsite pictures.

Fire Design of Post-Installed Rebar Applications

Siew Ting N.
Reading time: < 10 minutes
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.

DURABILITY AND AGEING RESISTANCE IN PASSIVE FIRE PROTECTION

Vishakha Mittal
Reading time: < 5 minutes
Passive fire protection systems are essential in modern construction, serving to contain fire and prevent its spread through compartmentalization. While fire resistance is their primary function, the durability and ageing resistance of these systems are equally critical for ensuring long-term safety and performance.
