We have been asked to assess anchors into mortar concrete which is basically grout (with only sand and no course aggregates) able to achieve a compressive strength of 45N/mm2. Does the anchor design/PROFIS provide similar capacities regardless of concrete mix design? As long as a compressive strength is achievable? Cheers

Hej! Vi projekterar en ny frontplatta på en damm vars bärning blir avskuren av befintliga damm-pelare. För att slippa riva pelare undrar jag om man kan borra genom pelare, trä in primär-armeringen genom hålen och injektera igen hålet? Alltså att en hel armeringsstång går genom pelaren (600 mm bred) och sticker ut på respektive...

Hi, When longitudinal reinforcement on the edge is present, according to EC2, for an anchor or a group of anchors subjected to both tension and shear, the utilisation factors should be replaced by the corresponding values for failure of the supplementary reinforcement. An example was run in Profis for with and without supple...

Hej! Vi har en ny betongkonsol som behöver fästas in till en befintlig betongpelare. Pelaren är 600 mm tjock. Betongen är från 50-talet med på ritning angiven kvalitet: Btg 1, std, K300, grupp a, VT, vibrerad. Betongen har en del sprickor och ASR. Hur mycket drag kan jag våga tillåta per förankring/armeringsjärn vid fi16 resp...

Profis limits the number of anchors to a maximum of 4 and failure appears to be with the masonry. I am currently applying a 10 kN load to this wall, but would like to know if there is any way of increasing the capacity of the connection in order to increase the 10kN force? See attached model.

We are working on a project for Heathrow, and they are pushing to get the project moved on. We are installing a demountable modular building on a new concrete slab. The end client is pushing for the anchor plates to be installed (they haven't completed the pour yet) but are asking when we can drill and fix the anchor plates. W...

How do I receive my cert for the course I completed yesterday on using the GX3

I specify Hilti resin anchors for all the calcs requiring resin anchors A client suggests Rawlplug R-KEM II is equivalent to HY270 & Rawlplug R-KER II is equivalent to HY200 Have you a technical report comparing Rawlplug with Hilti?

How can I calculate this solution with HILTI PROFIS Engineering?

We will be installing Aluminium cladding panels to a project in Irvine, Ayrshire, Scotland and require structural calculations for Hilti brackets and rails. We have elevation and detail drawings which we can provide. Can you advise of the best way to obtain these, possibly via a direct email address? Thanks Gordon McWillia...
