Factored or Unfactored Load input for ETAG FOS3

Dear Sir/Madam,

I want to clarify whether factored or unfactored load should be input, if using ETAG FOS3, for calculation of anchor bolts for concrete.

Dear Andrew,

Thank you for your enquiry.

Material = 3 has been set for all failure mode calculation in the design method EN1992 FOS3 and ETAG 001 FOS3.
Thus, if the design method with FOS=3 has been selected, please input un-factored load for the calculation.
