ACI 318-02 Appendix D

ACI 318-02 Appendix D

ACI 318-02 Appendix D

(OP)
Does anyone know of available software/spreadsheet for concrete anchoring per ACI 318-02 Appendix D? Free would be nice.

RE: ACI 318-02 Appendix D

Hilti and Simpson both have free downloadable programs for sizing post installed anchors. Of course, each defaults to its own brand of anchor.

RE: ACI 318-02 Appendix D

(OP)
None of those referenced in the responses are based on Appendix D. Anybody else?

RE: ACI 318-02 Appendix D

I like DSAnchor.  It is not free though.

RE: ACI 318-02 Appendix D

spats,
Profis Anchor, Hilti, does calculate in a number of different codes, including Appendix D.

Why are you being lazy about it? If you researched a little you could get exactly what people have given you here already.

RE: ACI 318-02 Appendix D

Simpson's 'Anchor Designer for ACI 318' does analyze and design anchors based on ACI 318 Appendix D.

There are two different anchor programs on the website. One that uses the traditional ASD method, and a second that uses an Ultimate Strength Design using Appendix D.

RE: ACI 318-02 Appendix D

I just purchased DSAnchor and it has been a blessing.  It's about $1100 with a year support but it's worth every penny you spend.  I do a lot of Tilt-up wall design with embeds and this software is great for such designs.  I have tried Simpson and Hilti but they are both designed for their specific products, whereas DSAnchor allows you to use Headed bolts, Headed studs, Hooked bolts, expansion, undercut and post installed bolts.  It is a very intuitive software and well worth the money.
