Timothy,

Hilti will not have any test information regarding the use of mechanical anchors installed into an adhesive anchor, and thus could not comment on the possibly capacity of the anchor.  If this was to to be done it would be an engineering judgement by your or the engineer of record, and onsite evaluation would typically be seen to evaluate the capacity of the anchor.

Regards,

Bryan
