When I toggle my load input from static to seismic in Profis, the Hilti Kwikbolt TZ2 selection disappears as an option. The ESR 4266 states the Kwikbolt TZ2 is applicable for use in all seismic Design Categories, A-F, for seismic loads. Why is this anchor unavailable for a selection in seismic loads using Profis?
Hi Jason,
Do you have seismic type (a) selected? When seismic design is first selected in a new PROFIS Engineering file, the software defaults to the ACI 318-14 Section 17.2.3.4.3a provision for seismic tension design. If an anchor does not meet the ductility requirements of Section 17.2.3.4.3a, the anchor will be removed from the anchor selection menu within PROFIS Engineering. 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:
Regards,
Ashley
