Can additional bolts be added to layouts

Hello, Hope you are all well. During use on the PROFIS screen there is an anchor loads table on the right hand side which is really useful to show the individual anchor loads, however when you generate the report it only consists of combined loads and never shows the individual anchor loads. Is there a setting where this can b...

I am trying to design a fixing detail detail for a 1100mm high (1200mm post spacing) handrail. The posts and rails are 48mm tubular galvanised steel sections. The base is a steel deck plate slab and the overall slab depth is 130mm, with approx 70mm at the narrowest point(see attached drawing) . The software says that a minimu...

I have added shear supplementary reinforcement to the concrete. I got a notification asking to add: Four rebars left and right of the anchor group within 0.75h_ef are needed. How can I add additional shear supplementary reinforcement left and right, please? Cheers, Lucia

Can you please confirm which anchor bolts are suitable for use in steel fibre reinforced concrete. Can you also please confirm how this information can be simulated in Profis software.

I have designed a 200x220x16 equal angle and I require it to be anchored to a 102.5 brick wall face. All of the design passes apart from brick edge failure which fails by 304%. I'm not sure why it is failing on this could you guide me on how to correct this. The wall is part of a 120m platform, the repair section where the ang...

Hi, I am in the process of designing a post fixed rebar connection from a new slab to an existing wall. I am wanting to specify the minimum embedment length to determine the utilisation of the rebar rather than the software giving the maximum drilling length. Thanks

Hi, I've done a design that requires M24 Hilti HAS-U 8.8 and the contractor drilled the concrete to 32mm diameter holes instead of the 28mm requirement shown in the design report. Will this cause any reduction in capacity or can the hole just be filled with more resin? Thanks, David

Your software states that cracked needs to be considered if the anchor is not within the compressive zone - this limits this application to very few scenarios. Is there a work around or an alternative product that can be utilised to resolve? Assume i can share the profis model?

My client has requested that for our gate connection, the base plate holes be 20mm rather than 18mm to allow for tolerance on site (to give tolerance to allow for ensuring verticality of the gate post). We are using M16 HAS-U anchors with the HIY-HY 200 resin. Can we allow for this in a Profis assessment, and use a fill set t...
