different loads in each anchor
We are designing a connection with a series of anchors spaced equally. If the spacing is big enough, anchors will act as a single anchor as per ACI spacing requirements. However, if the spacing is less, anchors will now act as a group. what if the anchors have different shear loads. We are using HILTI PES, is there a possibility where we can assign specific loads for each anhor or will there be an update so as we can apply this?

Hi Jay,
Currently, it is not possible to assign loads to specific anchors in a group in PROFIS Engineering.

What about applying uniform load over a series of anchors. Uniform load on a ledger angle for example. Will there be a possible HILTI updated for this? Thanks.

Hi Jay,
The distribution of force can be found in Section 2 of the report that PROFIS Engineering generates.
