How to modify kc (Concrete breakout coefficient) factor in Profis?
How do I change kc to 17 for a post installed anchor in Profis? (I've noticed that it does not automatically do so when selecting the anchor type)

Hi Lisa,
The kc value will be based upon the type of anchor (cast-in place or post-installed) along with whether the concrete is cracked or uncracked. For post-installed anchors, if the design is based upon cracked concrete the kc value will be 17 and if the design is based upon uncracked concrete the kc value will be 24. More information on this can be found on page 234 the PROFIS Engineering Design Guide.
Regards,
Ashley
