Thank you for your question. In essence the published data relies on the thickness and condition of your masonry structure. Using the data within the software and depending upon your actual site conditions you can model anchorages depths between 50 and 170mm depth by using the filters within Profis Engineering. For anchorages beyond these depths then you would need to test onsite to establish allowable resistances whether that be by preliminary or destructive testing . The testing criteria noted within BS 8539:2012 is widely accepted for anchorages into masonry.
