How does the design change when fixings are into lightweight concrete?

How does the design change when fixings are into lightweight concrete?

I have a 130mm lightweight composite deck, I would like to fix a parasol base to the deck to resist uplift forces caused by wind. I have concerns about pull out due to the fact there is not much depth for embedment and the concrete is lightweight. Any advice would be very helpful.

Thank you for your question. Please find attached some data that we have published for fastening into composite metal decks for the HUS4 screw anchors that you may find useful as a guide in the absence of a specific European design code.
