PROFIS ANCHOR CHANNEL
The introduction of a design methodology for
cast-in anchor channels brought significant
benefits to the cast-in industry. Two major
examples are the ability to optimize and
confidently design an anchor channel system
without relying on engineering judgment. On the
other hand, it brought two major drawbacks;
the design is highly complex and very time
consuming.
Hand calculations for up to 25 failure modes,
up to 5 interaction equations, different load
combinations, varying t-bolt position along the
anchor channel, bracket tolerance, substrate
geometry, etc. becomes quite unpractical.
Moreover, designing via Excel spreadsheets
or Mathcad sheets becomes risky and time
consuming. Its programming complexity
increases the probability of errors.
To cope with such drawbacks, Hilti developed
PROFIS Anchor Channel software. It is design
technology that allows users to quickly and
accurately model anchor channel systems.
Through a simple, user-friendly interface,
PROFIS Anchor Channel designs anchor
fastenings for static and seismic applications in
concrete, according to the most current building
codes, approvals, and standards.
