Befestigungsindustrie – Online-Dübelbemessung PDA-360

Powers Design Assist – PDA-360.com – is a project planning tool, which provides customers with all needed information about Fastening Systems and their design according to the ETAG (European Technical Approval Guideline) Annex C for mechanical anchors and TR029 for adhesive anchors and corresponding ETAs (European Technical Approvals) as well as according to ACI (American Concrete Institute) 318 Appendix D (including supplemental information from AC193 and AC308) in connection with code compliant product listings from a recognized code evaluation body, ICC-ES (International Code Council, Evaluation Services) for USA and other regions.

With an easy web based interface, the base materials (e.g. concrete and reinforcement), the whole fastening arrangement (e.g. number and arrangement of anchors, filtering and selection of anchors,…), the geometry (e.g. edge distances, anchor spacing, anchor plate sizes,…), the loads (e.g. characteristic or design loads according to different load combinations, bending conditions), the profile (e.g. profile type and size, anchor plate material,…) and the project data (e.g. Project No., Company, Name of project,…) can be defined.

With PDA-360, users have a wide range of options to choose from. Besides the possibility to choose different regions, the program can also handle different units such as SI- and imperial units automatically.
