It must be noted that in adverse conditions of earthquake and fire, failure of secondary connections such as MEP fastenings is more likely than primary connections, which is why ad-hoc solutions such as the ones described above often cause a loss of life when they collapse. To support lighter ceiling-suspended loads, an ideal support will contain:
(a) an anchor that performs successfully in both seismic conditions (these cause an increase in concrete crack widths), as well as in fire conditions;
(b) an engineered frame or wire-hanging support capable of withstanding fire hazards and seismic movement.
