Hello, I am trying to verify a design of post installed anchors to concrete which will be subject to fatigue load cycles. However, I can not see how this is undertaken within Hilti PROFIS. Please can you advise whether PROFIS can be used for fatigue design verification?
Thank you
Hi Luke,
Thank you for reaching out to Hilti.
As fatigue design of anchors is not included in the local Australian codes and standards yet, Profis Engineering doesn't offer the possibility of designing for fatigue under AS 5216:2021.
What you can do is to change the anchor calculation method to European design (EN, ETAG) in the settings and then fatigue design will be an option. Please check attached images.
This design will be then based in Eurocode 2 and EOTA TR 061, which are the most updated international design methods for fatigue design.
If you still have questions or issues, please reach out to our technical support team >>> here.
Kind regards,
Ask Hilti team
