How can I change my model from Canadian CSA23.3 code to ACI 318 code?

I am using RAM Structural to export forces to Hilti Profis to design baseplates for lateral columns. I am using about 200 load combinations in total. Is it possible to run Profis with more than 20 load combinations? 

I have some equipment anchored with HK-EZ anchors (3/8 and 1/2") and need to remove the anchors to allow lifting and replacing the equipment. Can I reinstall the anchors in the existing holes? Any other steps I need to take?

I have shear load in the Y-direction, but it appears that Section 4.3 (Concrete edge failure) is checking the shear capacity in the X-direction. Can you explain the ca1 and ca2 values being used in the attached design?

Can we use the EPD that has been updated from IBU for 120 CFP SP WB also for CFP SP WB ? EPD only specifically lists 120 CFP SP WB . What is the difference between the two? - attached EPD

What is the purpose of the Red Line on the KB-TZ2 Wedge Anchors. I had initially assumed that it was used to notify the user if an anchor did not meet minimum embedment depth requirements. However, I noticed that the Red Line on a 5/8" diameter anchor is at 3" from the bottom of the anchor (2.5" from the tip of the wedge) bu...

I have Risa 3d and Risa Connection models for a project. It appears Risa Connection allows my to export the column base loads for a simple column but not for a column with a diagonal brace connection. Is there a way to achieve this?

Why is the 5/8" Hilti Kwik Bolt TZ2 only evaluated to a max effective embedment depth of 4 inches in Profis when it is available in lengths up to 10 inches long.

I specified the use of Hilti HZA-P tension anchors to increase the punching shear capacity of existing spread footings in a project I am working on. However, the contractor is saying these anchors are no longer available. Are there any similar products that can be used to increase punching shear in this application?

Are phosphorus coated post installed anchors available?
