How can I disable minimum spacing and edge distance requirements for anchor bolts.

Question

Posted by Ian Smithover 3 years ago

I am working on an anchor plate configuration where I have larger diameter anchors spaced close to the 3*bolt diameter requirement from AISC. I am receiving an error message and am unable to run the calculation. Is it possible to turn off this spacing requirement?

Minimum Spacing,Post installed Anchor Bolt.,Post Installed Anchor Tolerance,HY 200 Larger Diameter Anchors

Hi Ian,

PROFIS Engineering does not have the ability to turn off minimum spacing and edge distance requirements since the software's calculations are based on established minimums that come from testing.
