Hi Neil,
For anchor product selection help, please see Hilti’s Anchor Product Technical Guide from Hilti's website. Below are quick links to sections of the Tech Guide:
- Anchor Selection Chart on pages 4-7 - a helpful comparison of Hilti's anchors
- Section 3.2 Adhesive Anchoring Systems starting on page 30
- Commonly considered ultimate-performance adhesive anchors for concrete are HIT-HY 200 V3 (fast cure) and HIT-RE 500 V3 (slow cure)
- This article differentiates slow and fast curing anchors
- HIT-RE 500 V3 Technical Data with threaded rod
- HIT-HY 200 V3 Technical Data with threaded rod
- Section 3.3 Mechanical Anchoring Systems starting on page 261
- The most commonly considered expansion/wedge anchor is the Hilti Kwik Bolt TZ2
For design help, engineers typically utilize Hilti’s PROFIS Engineering Suite software to perform calculations based on the specific conditions of the project. Click here to access the software from Hilti’s website. Hilti has several how-to videos to help users get started with the PROFIS Engineering Suite software. For additional information on the various design modules/methods, Hilti provides several on-demand Ask Hilti webinars on topics such as base plate design, anchoring to masonry, and anchoring to concrete-over-metal deck.
Ultimately, all design decisions (including anchor selection) are at the discretion of the Engineer of Record (EOR) on the project.
