How can I use Profis Anchor Software to design for rebar?
*question derived from previous offline enquiry
Hi,
Chemically anchoring rebar into concrete is covered by the anchoring standard AS 5216/SA TS 11, however, the design guide provided by the standard only covers the anchor model, which the rebar is to be designed as an anchor and the concrete breakout failure needs to be considered when design.
When design rebar to anchoring model, Profis anchor is programmed to AS 5216 design method and provide a fully compliance design solution.
When design rebar to stress development as per AS 3600, the scope of AS 5216 section 1.1.1 refers to AEFAC technical note: post installed rebar connection
In the AEFEC NOTE, it states that the chemical anchor product must be pre-qualified according to EOTA TR 023 so that the product is suitable for use in rebar application. Hilti chemical RE 500-V3, HY 200-R, RE 100, HY 170 all have the prequanlificaiton and hence can be designed to AS 3600.
Hilti has developed Profis rebar for design engineer to design rebar in rebar model (Product ETA approval specified the certain application where the post installed rebar can be designed as rebar model) as per the AEFAC technical note mentioned above.
Cheers,
Dom
