Round Concrete Pier Base

Round Concrete Pier Base

We're trying to design anchorage for round piers using Hilti.  Can't seem to find a spot to put in anything but a wall or rectangle type of concrete base.  Typically calculate an equivalent square to get similar minimum edge distances that will control, but it seems odd to not be able to input a round pier.

Kimberly,

As you have seen, at this time, PROFIS Anchor only allows for square or rectangular concrete base materials.  For circular base materials, the approach you described is commonly used by designers when utilizing the software.  This is a feature that is currently under investigation, and is looking at being changed for furture releases of the software.

Let us know if you have any additional questions.

Regards,

Bryan

Curious to know if that is still a work in progress or circular base is not a high priority item ?!
