We Offer Three Levels of Training
Basic
For those who know very little about fixings and covers an introduction to fixings, fixings and construction regulations, and practical fixing practices.
Advanced – For People Without an Engineering Background
For those with adequate industrial knowledge about fixings who wish to learn more. This covers an introduction to modern fixings, introduces JCP’s Anchor Calculation Program (ACP), and looks at construction fixing regulations and detailed practical fixing practices.
Advanced – For Engineers
For those with engineering knowledge regarding fixings. This advanced session covers an introduction to connection design, Eurocodes, and regulations for fixings, introduces JCP’s Anchor Calculation Program (ACP), result interpretation, and passive fire resistance fixing design.
Calculator Downloads
Developed by our technical team, our Anchor Calculation Program (includes a rebar calculator) and resin volume calculator are both free to download. Calculations can be carried out in accordance with EN1992-4 covering the design of fasteners under static, quasi static and seismic actions, as well as fire exposure. Users have the option to choose the EOTA Guideline and Technical Report relative to the design of anchors in concrete as the design standard.
Anchor Calculation Program
The Anchor Calculation Program (ACP) provides solutions for anchoring into cracked and non-cracked concrete. The tool is designed to simplify specifying connections to surfaces (walls, floors, ceilings) and factors in loadings, spacing, and edge distances. It includes 3D graphics, along with hole depth optimisation for chemical anchors.
Resin Volume Calculator
Our resin calculator is capable of determining volumes of resin required for a specific project based on the number of holes, anchor diameters, and embedment depth; it is suitable for rebar as well as threaded bars.
Videos
We offer a selection of JCP ‘how to’ fixings installation videos, focusing on our most popular high-quality anchoring products for use within the construction industry. The step-by-step videos showcase how to install the fixings, with easy-to-follow visuals giving the viewer an insight into the application of each product.
The videos have been produced to provide the guidance needed to ensure correct installation and are ideal for our customers to share with theirs.
