Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to seek your advise on the design assumptions by PROFIS model.
Referring to the "Post-Installed Reinforcing Bar Guide" by Hilti, it is noted from the design example of post-installed rebar (p.37) that the minimum reinforcement area for crack control would be controlled by 3 equations as shown below:
Are these factors ,especially the min. steel for crack control, being considered in the PROFIS model? Thanks
Regards,
James Yu
Dear James,
Thank you for your enquiry.
It seems that there is a capture about those 3 equations but we are not able to view here. It would be great if you could send the capture to TeamEngineering.HK@hilti.com for our further checking.
However, generally most of the influencing factors are included in PROFIS Engineering. You may click "user define" to input the on-site situation for checking based on BD's requirement.
