We work on projects outside the US and need to do anchor calcs with metric fasteners.

When selecting a grouted base plate, Profis analyzes the anchor rods per Eurocode, looking at bending in the anchor rods when this isn't necessarily required by ACI 318 or even AISC depending on hole size, and whether welded washers are used. As others have mentioned, this causes the design to appear to be highly overstressed...

Is there a way to print the reports in Profis for an entire project at once, rather than going into each file individually?

Anchoring into existing concrete columns How many 11.1 oz tubes of HY 200 would i need for 30 holes with #5 rebar at 12 inches deep

I want to use Hilti chemical anchor products to install equipment in the factory. The manufacturer of the equipment provided M24 bolts and nuts, and the required installation torque is 350 Nm. Could you please let me know which of your chemical products I should use and what the required drill hole depth and diameter should be...

We have 12, 4 conduits 2 apart from one another penetrating a 1HR horizonal shaft wall. The row of conduits don't allow for sleeves, so a 6' x 5 rectangular opening will be required. Can the horizontal assembly be increased to a 2HR assembly with mineral wool within the cavity, and then fire caulk the top of the opening?

Can the same anchors and values be used for grouted clay masonry (specifically Atlas structural brick) that are used for grouted concrete masonry.

I am working on a project that requires a 3-hr fire barrier be erected in an existing metal building. The proposed fire barrier runs perpendicular to a steel roof beam. Can you provide a fire stop detail or product for where the steel beam penetrates the 3-hr fire barrier?

I have a condition that due to the presence of critical rebar in my concrete wall, the available embedment depth is limited to 1.5 inches. The total load is a relatively low 150 lbs (shear and tension) distributed across 5 anchors (see attached files). Based on strength calculations, my design using 5 KWIKHUS-EZ (KH-EZ)-SS31...

Can you explain the calculations of Avc in the attached report (page5/8)? It looks like we should be able to use (4) Avc0 with the spacing and member depth. Please confirm.
