The first ETA approval for an anchor pre-qualified for the demanding seismic category C2
Seismic events are among the worst possible scenarios for engineers or architects designing structures. Under seismic loading, the performance of the connections in a structure is crucial not only to overall stability but also with a view to avoiding casualties and the economic impact resulting from the collapse of non-structural elements. In Europe, up to now, no standard that pre-qualifies fastening systems for seismic loading has existed, so anchor selection and design has not been possible within the framework of EU regulations.(…)
