I would like to seek guidance on how to combine both Mechanical and Adhesive Anchor Types on the same base plate within Hilti Profis. Specifically, I have Mechanical cast-in place anchors installed on the inner circle and Adhesive anchors installed on the outer circle. Could you provide guidance on how to ensure proper install...

Hi, We need to lift a 500mm x 500mm x 500mm concrete foundation. Would you recommend using your wedge anchors (or an alternative product) to connect lifting eyes to be able to undertake this lift? If so, do you have any technical data which can support this for submission to our client.

If I try to change the design method for my PROFIS design (just to see how the various codes/guidance compare), and then change it back to Eurocode (with ETAG, SOFA, ETA 98/0001), it jumps from 100% utilisation for concrete edge breakout to 146%. This appears to be because it reverts to using the Eurocode 2 method for calcula...

Hi, I currently have a situation where we would like to fix rebars into an existing culvert using Hilti Profis. The intention is to have the dowels to be fixed to the new rebars of 16mm dia. @ 150mm centres. The situation is we have the loads to be MEd = 126kNm, VEd = 181kN, in a downward direction. The existing culvert have...

Hi, The attached data sheet does not show HAS-U anchors. Could you please confirm the filling washers can be used with HAS-U M24 anchor bolts to fill the gaps? What is the t,fix,effective shown in the attached data sheet? If HAS-U M24 cannot be used with filling washers could you please let me know the reason and suggestio...

How do you extract a 3d mesh dxf from a PS1000 and PSA100? I was under the impression you can do this from the tablet and do not require to purchase Profis software and install on a computer, am I wrong. I can export 2d and 3d pdfs from the tablet, Do you have to take the sd card out of the PS1000 and put into the tablet (PSA...

Do you have a ring bolt fixing that can support a 400 kgs. load via chain block? I was thinking to use a RUD VLBG PLUS 2T M16 with a Hilti Resin anchor or similar. if not can you suggest something?

We have an existing column which is 250x250mm to which we are introducing a steel beam with an end plate. The loading at the anchors is not the largest, however the software highlights a edge breakout failure in the concrete. The load acts along the length of the column and is just applying a shear force. We have tried what we...

Good afternoon, I need to check the situation presented below, where at least 8 or more masonry fixing anchors will be necessary. Could you please advice me on that? How I can check it? Thank you in advance!

The Solid normal UK concrete block has a predefined strength of 14N/mm2. However the block we are using has a predefined strength of 7.5N/mm2. Can the software help us with this block?? The physical dimensions are the same. Thanks, Pierce McGann
