Concrete Anchor Design

By jarrod

Building services are required by the NCC to be designed and installed to resist structural loads, and the most common way they are connected to the building is via concrete anchors.  The structural performance of concrete anchors is impacted by numerous factors that need to be considered, and the NCC now mandates a specific standard…

Seismic, Wind & Gravity Design of Building Services
