Hi, I am looking to cast a series of vertical bars into a concrete slab / wall. THe bars would possibly be plain bars and cat in using HIT HY 200 A resin. The forces on each bar are simply shear and moment, the moment can be resolved into compressive bearing pressures on each side of the bar into the resin. I can't see tha...

M24 anchor bolts for base plate with embedment length upto 550mm, can you please suggest which mechanical anchor bolt i can use?

I am designing a structural base which consists of a large mass concrete sections, and a thinner reinforced topping. The two sections are connected by post-installed rebars (HIT-HY 200-A V3 resin) which in the ultimate limit state are subject to direct tension loads only. I am uncertain whether I can consider these as an EN 19...

I have a client who is requesting HUS4-H10 anchors with an embedment of 50mm into the concrete. With the use of Profis i can not go this low. The lowest i have achieved is 55mm, is it possible to use these anchors at 50mm embedment? The anchors are resisting a total of 65kN between 6 anchors so are highly utilised already.

We are checking the anchorage of a beam into the side of a pile (circular column) and we end up with very large figures for end plates and amount of anchors. The failure mode switches between edge break out and pryout based on embedment basically and we would like to know how the software assesses edge breakout when we have se...

We have a failed Bolt in the Concrete foundation where the bolt insert has become free. Bolt is M20. we would like to core drill the existing hole as there is some of the concrete broke away on removal of the threaded insert which is 80mm Long and 30mm in diameter. I am looking for a solution of possible core drill the existin...

New resin anchors are proposed to be installed in close proximity, almost attached to existing encast steel grillage that was used to accommodate a lattice tower. The tower will be removed but the steel grillage will remain embedded into the concrete base. Is there a minimum safe distance that we should adhere to so that new r...

Hello, I'm looking for advice on the most appropriate system for fixing an eyebolt to a reinforced concrete wall capable of withstanding 30kN tension and 15kN shear in both planes. It's purpose is to fix a Tirfor to it to drag mechanical equipment out of a tunnel. I'd have thought HKD M20x80 would be the most suitable however...
