Can Hilti Anchors be used in a Cast In Place Application, Rather than post installed?

Can Hilti Anchors be used in a Cast In Place Application, Rather than post installed?

All of the Hilti Drop in Anchors HDI / HDI-L, HDI+ and HDI-L+ Drop in Anchors show the technical data for the allowable tension / shear when post installed. Just looking to either verify that the allowable strengths are still achieved if the anchors are Cast In Place or if there is a Hilti Recommended load reduction factor to take into account when the anchors are drilled and post installed into the concrete.

Rebecca,

All of Hilti's testing, as you have seen, is for post-installing the HDI(+) / HDI-L(+), and there will be no information if the anchor is cast-in to the concrete member.  If this was to be done, it cannot be verified that the anchor would set properly, and it is unknown what the corresponding capacity would be. 

Let us know if you have any additional questions.

Regards,

Bryan
