I am trying to install a fastener (Most likely an anchor rod) to the underside of metal deck. The purpose is for this anchor to support a swing inside an office space via eye bolts or other type of system that would attach to the adhesive set rod. However, Profits only provides values for mechanical anchors (such as a Kwik Bolt), which prevent me from attaching the system to the anchor directly.
Hi Daniel,
Adhesive anchors do not have testing into concrete-over metal deck which is why they are not an option in PROFIS Engineering.
Because your application falls outside the scope of the product’s testing, we have seen engineers use methods like onsite testing to help determine if the connection is acceptable. Ultimately, all design decisions are at the discretion of the Engineer of Record (EOR) on the project.
Regards,
Emily
