Analysis of large base plate on two separate concrete pads

Hi Todd,

Thank you for reaching out. PROFIS Engineering does not currently accommodate the analysis of a large base plate spanning two separate concrete pads. The software primarily focuses on designing anchorage and base plates for single concrete elements, ensuring compliance with anchoring-to-concrete provisions and structural codes. If your design involves two separate concrete pads, you may need to divide the analysis into two parts—one for each pad—and manually account for the interaction between the pads and the base plate.

Ultimately, the approach to the design is at the discretion of the Engineer of Record on the project. If you have additional questions, please reach out to hnatechnicalservices@hilti.com.

Kind regards,
Sinan

Hi Sinan,

Your answer is what I was expecting. I thank you for your response and confirmation. I will run a FBD for each pad and then go from there,

Cheers,
Todd
