Profiles concentric and eccentric to base plate

Profiles concentric and eccentric to base plate

Hello,
I use Hilti Profis Anchor and recently observed that the software gives exactly same results (detailed report) for the following two cases:

  1. Profile is concentric to the base plate
  2. Profile is eccentric to the base plate

I used the same loading for these two cases (see attachment). It is counter-intuitive for me that there is no difference in the anchor forces or the resulting tension and compression zones. Could you please shed some light on this?
Thanks,
Sushant

Sushant,

Are you located in North America? The reason for asking is because this site is managed by our North American staff, and we have expertise in ACI 318 and CSA A.23.  If you are not, in order to provide the best response, you will need to send your PROFIS Anchor Design Reports to your local Engienering Support staff for further review and commentary.

Let us know if you have any additional questions.

Regards,

Bryan

Bryan,

Thanks for your response. I am not based in USA but the query is related to ACI 318 and Hilti Profis Anchor software. Could you please give me an e-mail where I can send the Engineering report?

Thanks,
Sushant
