We are designing a hanging system and need to anchor into an overhead metal deck with concrete. What type of anchor is recommended for a 1500# tension load, no shear required.
Hi Paul,
Thank you for reaching out. When selecting an anchor for concrete over metal deck, please see page 6 of the Anchor Fastening Technical Guide.
Engineers also consider using Hilti’s PROFIS Engineering software to aid in their design process. 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.
For additional questions, please reach out to hnatechnicalservices@hilti.com.
