Hi, I am designing concrete screw anchors in one of our projects. I have a connection with two different shear loads, 1970# and 1800#. Everything on both connections including size, layout, eccentricity, ...is same. Hilti PROFIS designs one of them with considering group anchors and the other one without considering group effect. I am wondering since everything is same, why the software is not designing both cases as group anchors. Please find the attached pdfs which shows both cases. Thanks
Hi Ali,
Thank you for reaching out. After reviewing the files, there is eccentricity that is present in the design report that is not recommended while eccentricity is not present in the other design report. In order to better assist you, please email your ".pe" file along with both reports to hnatechnicalservices@hilti.com so that we may further evaluate both designs.
Regards,
Ashley
