Is there an input in Profis to specify that the anchor is being installed on the underside of a slab?
I have been asked to design a access platform which will be hung from an existing reinforced concrete floor slab. When reviewing the anchor catalogues several have reduction factors for hung installations. Is there somewhere in Profis to ensure this reduction is being applied?

Hi Zak
When using adhesive anchors in overhead/sustained loading condition please refer to page 19 of the Anchor Fastening Technical Guide for more information. In Profis Engineering, these types of loads should be entered under the Sustained Load row, please see attached snippet for reference.
