this is the first time using Hilti Profis. Do you have a step by step tutorial? how do i determine the embedment length and depth of the concrete pedestal?
Hi Ashenfie,
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 Engineering Center webinars on topics such as base plate design, anchoring to masonry, and anchoring to concrete-over-metal deck. For further information on the software’s functions and its calculations, see this PROFIS Engineering Design Guide.
Embedment depth depends on several factors such as anchor type, desired capacity, concrete thickness, etc.
Ultimately, all design decisions are at the discretion of the Engineer of Record (EOR) on the project.
Regards,
Emily
