What is the recommended post-installed stainless steel anchor that can be used with ACI 17.2.3.4.3(a)? HILTI PROFIS only allows KWIK HUS EZ-SS316, KWIK HUS EZ-C SS316 and HSL-3. All of which have diameter limitations and are unsuitable for vessel anchorage. Additionally it appears that there are zero options, per PROFIS, for cast-in-place stainless steel anchorage that meets 17.2.3.4.3 (a).
Hi Charles,
Once ACI 318-14 17.2.3.4.3 (a) for seismic tension is selected, PROFIS Engineering filters out all anchor elements considered to be non-ductile. In your described application, a filter is further applied to display the stainless steel portfolio; Only 3 Hilti post-installed, stainless steel anchor options are available, as you noted. The list of seismic tension types is attached. If another type is applicable to this design, additional anchors will re-activate and may meet your diameter, stainless steel, and vessel anchorage needs.
At this time, PROFIS Engineering does not include stainless steel cast-in anchor options.
Best,
Sam
