Am desiging a shelf angle with anchors and in the load input area I am only able to input Vx and Vy. My load is a bit eccentric, which I would like to model with a combination of Vy and Mx, however, I am not able to input this. Can you help?

I am designing the anchorage for a leger channel to 6 CMU (ungrouted). Can you tell me how the shear bond strength is determined, is this a pryout check? Also, the minimum masonry required wall thickness in the ESR says 7 5/8. Would a 6 cmu invalidate the profis design values?

I have a situation in which I would like to calculate the pressure between concrete and steel for the base plate of a beam that cantilevers off the side of an elevated concrete support. I would like to be able to preload the top anchor bolts in tension in order to create the pressure profile that I require.

What is the method for establishing the proof load for an epoxy dowel that is embedded over a length of 20db and is spliced with existing reinforcement, assuming full development of all bars? Would it be overly cautious to determine the proof load by taking the minimum of (67% of concrete breakout, 67% of pullout strength, and...

I'm utilizing PROFIS engineering software for anchor design, examining two scenarios: one with the anchor set well within a slab, and another with it positioned at the slab's edge. While I anticipate concrete breakout issues in the latter case, I'm also observing a reduction in bond strength, which I find puzzling. Can you exp...

If you would like to design a base plate with a shear lug, the Advanced Calculation Type tab needs to be selected to rigid to allow for the shear lug dialog box to be accessible.

Hello. Can Hilti Firestop products be used over / on top of existing firestopping materials from other manufacturers? Thank you

What is Elongation length(L) of anchor bolts? - anchor bolts, ... (hilti.com) Regarding this question, does it include the whole bonded length as well or only the unbonded length? I talked to the vendor but they are unsure of this. What value of L should be taken while using CBFEM method?

I ran a calculation in Profis that required expansion anchors. Looking at the TZ2 depth options in Profis, the deepest option is 4.75 for the 3/4 TZ2. Your website however lists 10 as your longest option. Why does Profis not match the options on the website? How can I calculate the capacities for these longer options? For ...

Good afternoon, I am designing an embed plate to connect a steel beam to a concrete column. Does Hilti design the steel embed plate too or just the anchors?
