Applications
- When you are looking for solutions that go beyond what is covered in EN 1992-4, this course gives you an overview of how the SOFA (SOlution for Fasteners) design method can help enlarge the scope of applications with Hilti Fasteners
- Learn how the SOFA design method for gap filling can help ensure equal shear load distribution and activation of all anchors, improving the reliability and performance of anchor Fasteners even in larger and irregular anchor layouts
- Improve shear distribution by using the SOFA design method to redistribute forces to the back rows, helping to increase concrete edge resistance and ensure all anchors share the load, especially in edge-close baseplate designs
- Hilti's SOFA design method can also be used to improve shear load distribution and concrete edge resistance for both grouted and ungrouted stand-off connections, helping mitigate lever arm effects and increase capacity for elevated baseplates
- Includes a practical exercise within PROFIS Engineering for three different use cases: concrete edge breakout, circular anchor layout design and grouted stand-off design
