Topics: Essentially this presentation will focus on where to use - and where not to use -ferrules and why, as well as what, you can use as alternatives. It is focused on precast cast-in connection systems but applies to, and is relevant to, cast-in in-situ construction, not just precast alone. The following will be covered:

• Precast connections applications
• Australian Standards references
• Headed anchorage design principles and methods
• Metric ferrule & metric starter bar capacities
• Compliant bolted connections
• Compliant reinforcing bar connections
