There is no option for this anchor in profis. Can please clarify? Is this HKD anchor suitable as support from slab to hang M&E pipes and equiptment.
Hi Wee Teo Wei,
Yes we can design with HKD-drop in anchors in PROFIS ENGINEERING, you can select this anchor by selecting uncracked concrete in Profis (see image attached) and then select HKD anchor. HKD anchors are only approved for uncracked concrete for structural applications, refer ETA attached here for more details .
For second part of the question; Yes this anchor can be used to support MEP structures , but these type of application have redundant fastening , for such cases the ETA changes from structural to non-structural ( ETA attached below ) for such calculation you have to reach out to Anchor Design Services - Hilti Singapore and fill the require columns and our
engineering team will get back to you .
Let us know if you have further questions.
Regards,
Team Ask Hilti SEA
