Masonry Fixing. More than four anchors?

Question

Posted by Daniel Kennedyabout 2 years ago

I am experiencing local brick failure. I believe this could be fixed by adding a bigger plate and more anchors. Can I not add more than 4 anchors in a masonry design using the PROFIS system?

Thanks!

Thanks for your question, PROFIS Engineering follows the current design code for resin anchors within masonry structures therefore the anchor arrangement is limited to 1 , 2 or 4 anchor layouts with no option to customise outside of this criterion.
