Design Resources
Hilti offers best in-class design software and is the first manufacturer to develop and offer a complimentary
software solution for designing post-installed reinforcing bars. PROFIS Rebar is a web-based design
software that allows engineers to calculate post-installed reinforcing bar development and splice lengths using
the first two adhesive anchor systems qualified per AC308 Table 3.8: Hilti HIT-HY 200 and HIT-RE 500 V3.
PROFIS Rebar calculates tension and compression lap splice lengths, tension and compression development
lengths for starter bars, tension development lengths for special moment frames and special structural walls
and development lengths for shear dowels. The software also performs post-installed reinforcing bar
calculations for shear friction design using shallower embedments than those required by ACI 318. These
calculations are based on research conducted using shear friction theory. Let PROFIS Rebar do the
development calculations for your project.
What about anchor design? Hilti’s PROFIS Anchor software will assist you when designing with the
anchoring-to-concrete provisions of ACI 318 and CSA A23.3. The software is a comprehensive and intuitive
tool that performs calculations per the provisions of ACI 318-08 and ACI 318-11 Appendix D, ACI 318-14
Chapter 17 and CSA A23.3-14 Annex D. It also performs calculations per the provisions of ACI 349-01
Appendix B. Comprehensive calculation results are given in a design report that includes a 3D schematic of
the application being modeled. PROFIS Anchor users can design with Hilti mechanical and adhesive anchor
systems as well as AWS D1.1 cast-in-place headed studs and ASTM F1554 cast-in-place headed bolts.
Included within PROFIS Anchor are a number of powerful features, exclusive to Hilti, that greatly enhance the
user's choice and efficiency. Tutorials explain how to navigate within the software while the searchable
Design Guide provides an innovative, interactive tool that explains ACI 318 strength design calculations and
software design assumptions.
Let PROFIS Anchor do the complex strength design or limit states design calculations for your project.
Add PROFIS Rebar and PROFIS Anchor software to your toolbox today and let these complimentary design
aides do your development calculations, complex strength design or limit states design calculations for your
next project!
