Inputing reaction forces given from ASD analysis into Profis
I have a tabulated list of several anchor reaction forces that are generated from ASD load combinations for a steel platform. I need to understand how to input these into the profis software since ACI is LRFD. For example, if I have an axial load of 8 kips (from ASD), would my 'design load' be 8 kips or a multiple to 'convert' to LRFD.

Hi James,
Unfortunately, there is no way to convert ASD values to LRFD values due to how ASD testing is performed. For more information on the difference between ASD and LRFD please refer to this previous response on Ask Hilti.
If you have additional questions, please reach out to hnatechnicalservices@hilti.com.
