Existing building, metal stud drywall partitions. We are trying to create a 1 hour rated horizontal separation at the ceiling level. Are there any products/details that depict how we can modify the existing partitions, at the ceiling locations, to create a continuous rating? We are trying to avoid having to remove all existing...

There are 2 camps. Camp 1 thinks the installer should be able to map out locations for anchors based on seismic schematic engineering pl...

Hi, I have a design-build contractor asking if they can anchor sprinkler line hangers into the underside of an existing PT concrete slab. They are specifying 1/2" diameter KB-TZ anchors. We have recommended that they scan to locate the existing prestressing strands, but we wanted to know if there is a recommended minimum dista...

In my design file I specify an anchor embed of 24" however when I run the report it looks like a depth of 16.67" is being used.
