I am trying to put concrete strength manually that is of 4500psi but I am not getting any option.

When I run Hilti Profis into Brick with at a Concentrated Load and a line of 4 Adhesive Anchors the program only applies the Concentrated Load at the 2 middle Anchors. My Plate is Rigid so I am assuming that it should transfer the load to all 4 Anchors. Can you explain why it only is applied to the middle 2 Anchors? Is it due...

I see that there is Profis software for determining the embeddment/lapping requirements when extending concrete. However, I cannot seem to consider a thin concrete section. I have a 4 thick concrete slab that I need to extend, requiring doweling into the center of the 4 thickness. Can you provide guidance for how to check/desi...

Good Morning, I was wondering if you have a design available for a 3-hour Continuity Head-of-Wall Joint and penetrations (for Roof Purlins / Purlin bracing) for a fire barrier wall in-line with and terminating below a Pre-Engineered Metal Building MAINFRAME. The local AHJ is considering the Purlin Penetrations to be supporti...

Can I set up a custom anchor lay out in hollow masonry wall in Profis engineering software. I believe was that option in previous versions where you can put any number of anchors on any position

I need a 2 hour head of wall detail for a 2 hour framed wall that extends to the bottom of metal roof panel in a PEMB building

Why is there no option to check anchor rod shear with built-up grout pads in accordance with section 17.7.1.2.1 in ACI 318-19? This portion of the code clearly states that steel shear strength should be reduced by 20% when utilizing built-up grout pads. This provision has always been a part of Chapter 17 and previously Appendi...

I need a EJ on a 1-1/2 CPVC pipe running thru a solid I. beam with a 2 hour fire rating.

Hi I am looking for the kind of platic cap that can be placed on the nut of a headed stud to raise it and provide cover. Mostly it is required by architects so that the nut would not show on the underside of concrete surface when the form is removed. Does Hilti carries this? Or do you know a source that provide them? Thanks

HILTI Profis uses the anchor breakout equations from section 17.6.2.1 to check the concrete strength for pryout forces on the anchors. This is allowed by ACI per section 17.7.3.1.1 or 17.7.3.1.2. However, since section 17.6.2.1 is checking the anchors in the breakout failure mode, why is there no increase in strength with the ...
