Join this webinar to learn the fundamentals of baseplate design utilizing AISC’s Design Guide 1 (3rd Edition) and learn how PROFIS Engineering utilizes AISC Design Guide 1 to design both the baseplate and anchors within the same software module. The fundamental topics include designing baseplates under a compression load only, baseplates under a compression load and uniaxial bending, and baseplates under a compression load and biaxial bending, which is a new topic within the 3rd edition. - On-Demand

Learn how you can design anchors in concrete and concrete over metal deck with PROFIS Engineering. We will review general functionality and demonstrate options within the software to design post installed or cast-in anchors per ACI/CSA. To help you save time, we will review productivity features such as importing loads, running multiple load combinations and designing the baseplate per AISC DG1 or finite element analysis. - On-Demand

Our goal is to provide an understanding of key parameters for anchor channel system design using AC232 with illustrations of concrete breakout calculations for tension and shear - On-Demand

Shear lugs are steel embedments that transfer shear loads into concrete base materials. They are used in anchorages when: • The calculated shear design strength for the anchors is less than the factored shear load. • The number of anchors needed for shear transfer is impractical • An alternative means for shear transfer into the concrete is preferred • The anchor bolts alone cannot bear the shear load of the structure With the popularity of shear lugs used in connections with high shear forces, provisions for shear lug design have been implemented into ACI 318-19 Chapter 17. The shear lug design provisions provide guidance on how to account for bearing stress and concrete breakout for multiple shear lug cast-in and post-installed case scenarios. PROFIS Engineering’s Anchoring-to-Concrete module supports the design of connections with shear lugs. On-Demand

Join Hilti experts in a discussion on the shear concrete breakout provisions of ACI 318 and how to apply them for connections with multiple anchors in multiple rows and how to apply these principles for connections with irregular anchor layouts. - On-Demand

The National Building Code of Canada, and the Provincial codes, which are all based on the NBCC, include requirements for firestopping that are often perceived as confusing. This is partly due to the fact that the requirements are distributed across multiple sections of the code, rather than in one dedicated section. This webinar will help provide a clear overview of the code’s requirements for firestopping of penetrations, joints and curtain wall gaps, including the somewhat complex and not always consistent exceptions and variations. - On-Demand

Evolving energy codes have increased the minimum performance of buildings and their facades. There are many methods to meet these new requirements, including the use of Rainscreen Façades. This session will cover a brief overview of code requirements, the benefits of a Rainscreen Façade compared to other methods, as well as the components involved in Rainscreen construction. - On-Demand

HILTI’s Kwik-X dual action screw anchor is the latest innovation adding flexibility to Hilti’s anchoring portfolio. Join the Kwik-X product manager, as they discuss how Kwik-X offers high-capacity performance with installation up to 4x faster than traditional adhesives, while also minimizing installation steps and accessories required. Learn more on why Kwik-X offers the best of both worlds for designers and contractors, to get the job done. - On-Demand

Learn how you can design post installed anchors into masonry in the PROFIS Engineering software. We will review general functionality and demonstrate options within the software to design per the Load & Resistance Factored Design (LRFD) method. - series

Learn how you can design post installed rebar with the Concrete-to-Concrete module in PROFIS Engineering. We will review general functionality and demonstrate options within the software to select anchoring-to-concrete provisions, development length provisions, and research-based design options. - series
