Hilti Catalog Design Values
Hilti Catalog Design Values
(OP)
Does any one know if there is material out there which goes over how Hilti came up with various edge distance and spacing factors?
I want to try and understand how Hilti is coming up with its design values using ACI.
I am particularly interested in an explanation of the design tables, correction factors and design example for the Kwik Bolt 3.
Thanks

They do an example at the of the KB3 section showing the capacity of a bolt group using ACI 318... if you're willing, can someone explain how would I come up with the same design value as shown (5,034 lb), by just using the design tables & corrections...
The design example is on pg 352 of the 2008 product guide

The ACI 318 calculations are involved and complicated. Plus with adhesive anchors there are factors that Hilti applies that are not in ACI. It's best to go direct to them or attend one of their workshops.

I should imagine this is the case with the edge distances as well.
RE: Hilti Catalog Design Values
The example you site using ACI Appendix D - the only information in the guide applicable to it are Tables 2,3,and 4 and applicable reduction factors and methodology come straight form Appendix D.
Tables 6 through 15 are a holdover from the allowable strength methodology which are all based on ultimate testing values reduced by a factor of safey of 4.0. This was the way things used to be done prior to the Appendix D saga. You will not get the same results from the different methods, and the allowable strength method is really not permitted by code except in masonry and perhaps some other non critical conditions.
