Difference between design methods when using Profis Engineering; ETAG-based versus EN 1992-4-based?
What exactly is the main differences between the ETAG-based and the EN 1992-4-based design method when running a calculation in Profis Engineering?

Thank you for your question Mette,
EN 1992-4 is a further development of ETAG 001. Changes are related to for an example different K-factor for cracked and uncracked concrete because of concidering cylinder strength instead of cube strength of concrete. The introduction of sustained load factor for chemical anchors is another difference. Small changes when it comes to handeling anchors with stand-off is another change. My advice would be always use EN 1992-4 based calculation setting.
