Hello,

This is a reasonable application for a chemical anchor, but the specific load capacity will be dependent on diameter, embedment, edge, spacing, and other parameters. For design help, engineers typically utilize our free PROFIS Anchor software to perform calculations based on the specific conditions of the project. PROFIS Anchor can be accessed through this link.

Since it is desired to have eyebolts attached, it may be preferred to use the HIS-N steel element which is internally threaded and could have an eyebolt attached if the threads match.
