Reaction to Fire vs Fire Resistance: What's the Difference in Firestop Design?

Hilti Engineering Centre
Reading time: < 5 minutes
Reaction to fire and fire resistance are often confused, but they assess different aspects of fire performance. Reaction to fire measures how a material contributes to fire growth and spread, while fire resistance assesses how long a complete wall, floor or penetration seal can prevent the passage of fire and heat. This article explains the key differences, relevant European standards and what engineers need to consider when specifying passive fire protection systems.

How to Increase the Shear Capacity of Existing Concrete Structures

Hilti Engineering Centre
Reading time: < 10 minutes
Existing concrete structures can often be strengthened and reused instead of being demolished and rebuilt. This article explains why structural strengthening may be required, common methods used to increase the resistance of reinforced concrete members, and how post-installed shear reinforcement can help improve the shear capacity of beams, slabs, walls and other concrete elements while minimising disruption.

Hilti Engineering Centre
Reading time: < 10 minutes
Modern fastening technology is becoming increasingly important in civil structural engineering worldwide. Every fastening element is designed for optimal performance for a specific application. When a fastening element is used for an application for which it is not intended, its performance can be negatively affected. At Hilti, we are committed to bringing better, safer, and more reliable fastening system solutions to our designers and contractors.
