Abstract

This article aims to analyze the causes of failure of part of the suspended ceiling. The destructive tests of metal expansion plugs have been carried out. Their admissible loads were calculated – adm F, in accordance with PN/EN 13964:2014, and the actual state of the structure was confronted with the “general” ceiling scheme that the contractor had at its disposal.
