Safety factors
• For ACI based, the only two relevant fields are “weighted
average load factor” and “Factor for serviceability crack
width check”
Weighted average load factor
• Only applicable when HAC EDGE is used. Software checks
if cracking of the concrete occurs at service levels and used
this factor to unfactor the shear force.
• This factor shall be equal to the shear load factor. For
instance, if ASCE 7-05 is used, this factor shall be equal to
1.6. If ASCE 7-10 is used, this factor shall be equal to 1/0.6 =
1.667
Factor for serviceability crack width check
• Select the required safety factor for serviceability crack
width. Serviceability is typically checked using nominal
strengths (1.0) at service loads. See section 9.6.2 for
additional information.
Always check for updates
• Hilti is continuously adding new features to the software.
Keeping the software updated allows you to take advantage
of all the features the software has to offer.
