Design Check - Existing Concrete Pad for vertical pump
I have a vertical pump installed on top of a concrete pad. The pump is attached to a steel plate as shown with 4 cast-in-place anchors embedded 12 inches in concrete. Ultimate loads are Pu= 4.927 lbs and Mu= 14467 in*lbs. However, I am not able to run the calculations. What am I doing wrong? I just wanted to check it the anchor design was correct

Hello,
Thank you for reaching out. PROFIS Engineering is unable to create a report for your design because the anchors are in compression only. Currently, it is outside the scope of PROFIS Engineering to perform calculations for anchor designs with a compression load only. In order for the software to evaluate an anchor design, there must be anchors that are in tension.
Regards,
Ashley
