We’ve also added our own Hilti research results into PROFIS Anchor design software, so that you can find solutions, which go beyond EOTA TR 045. This approach is also applicable only for the tension component and some provisions need to be observed in order to ensure that the cause of failure is steel failure. This design for ductile steel failure requires an anchor classified as ductile. The fastening is designed for the maximum load assuming an elastic behaviour of the fastening and of the structure.ĭesign with requirements for anchor ductility The anchorage is designed for the force corresponding to the yield of a ductile component, or if lower, the maximum force that can be transferred by the fixture or the attached element. This gives three solutions for anchoring base plates in seismic areas: Per ICC-ES, compliant for use in diamond cored holes. Per ICC-ES, compliant for use with Hilti Adaptive Torque (AT) Module for Mechanical Safeset. Our PROFIS Anchor software performs seismic calculations according to EOTA TR 045. Ultimate tension and shear performance for seismic relevant applications as well as cracked concrete (tension zone) Seismic tested in accordance with ACI 355.2 and ICC-ES AC 193. This includes code compliant Hilti products in 2D and 3D with relevant documentation and specifications. Or, you can use our Hilti PROFIS Anchor design software. At Hilti our engineering team can help you design your anchor systems – just contact your local Hilti office for more details.
