Using Power- Actuated Fasteners (PAF) to fasten structural elements to concrete, steel and now masonry offers significant advantages in speed, efficiency, and cost savings. Designing these connections presents unique challenges including the consideration of the substrate variability, advancements in tool delivery systems (Powder, Gas and Battery) along with consideration of changing building code requirements. In this technical webinar, we’ll address the most common pain points faced by structural engineers when designing with PAF systems and provide guidance on the correct selection and specification of pin and delivery system.
