I'm looking at using HY-270 to post install 3/4 dia threaded rods into the side of a multi-wythe brick wall. If I design the anchors assuming the wall is solid, the minimum edge distance is 8, which comes with a reduction factor of 0.5, and leads to a shear capacity of ~1000lbs/bolt. If I design the anchors assuming the wall i...

I'm trying to calculate the strength of large diameter anchors using the values from Hilti's technical bulletin. However, bond stress values are only given for uncracked concrete. Are values available for cracked concrete?

Our company has one floating premium license split between about five users. We mostly need the standard version but when a user opens the software the premium license is automatically pulled. How can we prevent someone from automatically pulling the premium version. Is there a way to prevent this or a manual way of switching ...

Can Hilti X-U fasteners be used in 5,000 psi precast hollow core plank with a minimum thickness of 1.375 at the cores? If so what would the shear capacity be of the anchor, spacing and edge distance requ?

Hello, would Hilti be able to confirm that strength design using ACI 318-14 (latest version available in the software currently) is equivalent to ACI 318-19? I would like confirmation to share with a project team. Thank you.

A new 4 story medical office building with a rainscreen facade in combination with curtain wall framing. We have protection for the curtainwall window assembly at the decks, but questions remain about how to terminate rated wall at the window assembly, which sits proud of the concrete deck by 6 to 8 inches, running continuous...

I have a precast concrete veneer that is 3 thick being attached through the panel to an existing 12 concrete wall. Between the wall and the precast panel, grout may or not be present. Is it safe to assume I can use the following anchor with a screen tube into the 12 concrete wall: Hilti HIT-V threaded rod with HIT-HY 270 inj...

When post installing HIT-HY 200 V3 + 5/8 DIA HIT-Z anchors to a concrete column face with existing reinforcement - aside from not drilling into the existing reinforcement when installing the HIT-Z anchors, edge distances, etc Is there any clearance that should be maintained between the existing reinforcement and the new anch...

What anchor should I use to anchor into a terra cotta coping unit? Wall thickness varies from 1 to 2. Units are historic, and old.

Best regards HILTY team. I have a question, I appreciate if you can help me, it involves modeling in Profis engineering the anchors of a W 6x25 beam to a foundation, what happens is that the beam is supported on the foundation horizontally. in which the PROFIS program only has models to simulate columns on foundations. How ...
