Anchoring-to-masonry CMU block size

Anchoring-to-masonry CMU block size

In the anchoring-to-masonry anchor design module, is there a way to change the size of the masonry blocks?

Ex. I have a case where I need to design anchorage on top of a 12"x12"x16" fully-grouted CMU block. The Profis module automatically fills in an 8"x8"x16" block; the smaller edge distances mean a lower shear capacity. Is there a way to change the block size?

Hi Avery,

Unfortunately, changing the dimensions of the CMU is outside the scope of Hilti PROFIS Engineering at this time.
