Profis anchor does not seem to be calculating the correct tensile capacity of anchors to be designed as ductile.

Profis anchor does not seem to be calculating the correct tensile capacity of anchors to be designed as ductile.

Per ACI section 17.2.3.4.3 option (a), the steel strength shall be taken as 1.2 times the nominal steel strength of the anchor. It does not appear the 1.2 factor is being utilized, but the software previously did. Has something changed?

Hi Chris,

For information on how PROFIS Engineering calculates steel failure, please refer to pages 136 - 151 of the PROFIS Engineering Design Guide. If you have further questions, please reach out to hnatechnicalservices@hilti.com.
