Can I cast-in post-installed anchors?
I have an unusual situation where it would be convenient to cast-in KH-EZ screw anchors instead of post-installing them. If I design these fasteners in PROFIS, would they have the same load values if they were cast-in-place instead of post-installed?

Hi Jacob,
Post-installed anchors are intended to be installed after the concrete has cured. Hilti does not have any testing or information regarding post-installed anchors being cast-in. The Engineer of Record could use engineering judgement or perform on-site testing.
