Plug and screw anchors - pull out resistance for fixing to blockwork

Plug and screw anchors - pull out resistance for fixing to blockwork

Can i check the shear and pull-out resistance of a fixing into blockwork using plug and screw fixings? On the profis software it only allows me to use resin anchors into blockwork. I have looked at technical data sheets however they do not provide pull-out resistance to blockwork wall.

Thanks for your question the forces involved with plastic plugs and screw would typically be considered outside of any requirement for safety critical structural design and is not what the Profis Engineering software is intended for. You will find data online for plastic plugs 'HUD' etc into a limited range of masonry types on your local HILTI website.
