The webinar will highlight the lack of specific design standards for structural connections in many countries, including Nepal and India, where engineers often depend on manufacturer data or international standards that may not be fully compatible with local requirements. Insights will be shared from experiences leading the development of connection design standards in Australia and contributing to European standards. Additionally, the webinar will address key differences between connection design and traditional steel or concrete design methods and outline the latest global research in this area. These insights will be particularly relevant for practicing structural engineers seeking to enhance their understanding of connection safety and quality assurance.

This webinar is also suitable for SNEVIC members, SEANep members, researchers, students, grad or experienced engineers in Nepal and Australia.

The Webinar will aim to cover the below topics:

1. Discuss key design challenges in anchorage technology.

2. Examine construction practices related to anchor installation

3. Present the latest research in anchorage systems

4. Share real-world case studies that demonstrate practical applications and lessons learned in anchorage design and construction.
