Hollowcore - Anchorage and Seismic Retrofit

In this informative session, participants learned about the significance of C2 capacities in hollow core anchorage and seismic retrofitting, particularly in New Zealand. The discussion highlighted the evolution of anchor performance standards following a major earthquake in 1994, which led to the development of C2 capacities to enhance safety in seismic zones. Key insights were shared regarding the behavior of prestressed concrete compared to reinforced concrete, emphasizing the importance of crack width and cyclic shear in anchor design. The session also covered practical experiences from anchor installations and retrofitting strategies, showcasing the need for careful design to optimize performance and cost. A Q&A session allowed participants to engage further with the material and clarify their understanding. Learn more: https://calcs.com/webinars/seismic-re...
