http://www.cee.psu.edu/news/hilti-article.aspx On January 19, 2016, the Hilti Corporation, in conjunction with the Pennsylvania State University Civil Engineering Research Group, hosted its first Hilti Anchor Competition. Following a brief company presentation and dinner, students from Penn State’s Student Society of Architectural Engineers, American Society of Mechanical Engineers, and from the department of Civil Engineering competed to affix a cantilever beam to a concrete base using Hilti anchoring products. Each apparatus was then tested to failure, and a winner was determined based on the largest amount of force that the system could withstand. Figure 1 shows the typical setup used in the competition. |
