Does Hilti Profis Anchor perform base plate block shear check?

Hi,

I would like to ask whether Hilti Profis Anchor checks the capacity of base plate in block shear? Moreover, where can I find more information on the design checks performed by the sofware.

Regards,
RC

RC,

At this time, PROFIS Anchor assumes that the base plate is a rigid element, and does not analyze the transfer of loads throughout the plate. This feature is one that is being considered for inclusion in a future release of PROFIS Anchor in order to assist designers with this aspect of anchor design. For more information on the software, feel free to access the PROFIS Anchor Design Guide at https://submittals.us.hilti.com/PROFISAnchorDesignGuide/ 

If you have any additional questions, please feel free to contact us.

Regards,

Bryan

Hi Bryan, Then where does the minimum plate thickness calculations of HILTI PROFIS ANCHOR come from? Regards. RC

RC,

In the North American modules of PROFIS Anchor, the minimuim fixture thickness will be based on product testing, and is referenced in the product's ICC-ES Evaluation Report (ICC-ES ESR).

Let us know if you have any additional questions.

Bryan
