I am checking the loading on an anchor to masonry wall. Using the Hilti PROIS Software, I can't figure how to change the masonry wall (200 series block wall) to fully grouted. How will I able to complete this?
Hi Navjoben,
Thanks for your question.
As you have noticed, if you select "Anchoring-to-Masonry" in Profis Engineering, unreinforced masonry/bricks will be considered to be the base material.
It is our understanding that the filled masonry walls may be expected to behave similarly to a concrete base material, however, it still falls outside of the scope of the EN1992-4 and therefore an Engineering Judgement needs to be used to carry out the anchor design into filled masonry walls.
I believe one of our Field Engineers has already reached out to you to discuss your particular application, but please do not hesitate to contact us on NZEngineers@hilti.com if you still have any queries about it.
Kind Regards,
