How does PROFIS compute Shear Area Avc?
It appears as if PROFIS uses 2/3 the edge distance in shear area calculations Avc? The code states the 2/3 factor is for narrow sections?

Hi Jeff,
See page 188 of the PROFIS Engineering Design guide for information on how A_Vc is calculated in relation to concrete breakout failure mode in shear. For further technical assistance within North America, please contact hnatechnicalservices@hilti.com.
Thank you,
