Hi Albert,
 
When seismic design is first selected in a new PROFIS Engineering file, the software defaults to the ACI 318-19 Section 17.10.5.3a provision for seismic tension design. If an anchor does not meet the ductility requirements of Section 17.10.5.3a, the anchor will be removed from the anchor selection menu within PROFIS Engineering. The KB-TZ2 does not meet the ductility requirements of this section. Thus, it is removed from the available anchors for analysis. However, the anchor of interest may become available in the anchor selection menu when selecting one of the other seismic tension design provisions listed below:
 

  • 17.2.3.4.3b - for yielding occurring at the fixture

 

  • 17.2.3.4.3c - for designing with a non-yielding attachment

 

  • 17.2.3.4.3d - using a seismic overstrength factor applied to the factored loads (typically, a preferred method by engineers using ASCE 7 for reference)

 
Regards,
Ashley
