Hilti RE-500 fixing into timber

Question

Posted by Dominicabout 3 years ago

Hi, are we able to use Hilti RE-500 fixing into laminated timber?
I found the assessment report of Hilti RE-500 for timber connection.
Do you have design spreadsheet for this? or design guide how this can be done?

Hi Dominic,

Thanks for your question.

I believe this question has already been answered by one of our Field Engineers. However, for future reference, I'll answer it also here.

We do not have a design spreadsheet or software for this type of application yet. The design is carried out following the provisions of the TR070, which can be accessed for free on EOTA's website. The design capacities to be used are given in the approval document of our epoxy. Please find it attached below.

If you are having any difficulties to design it, please let us know.

Kind Regards,
Samuel Aguiar
