Quick Anchor v4.01
Quick Anchor is an easy-to-use computer program to calculate the tensile and shear strengths of cast-in-place and post-installed anchors (single or a group) in accordance with the provisions of ACI 318. Through a simple and intuitive interface, it only takes a few minutes to input all the necessary information for the program to calculate the strengths of a single anchor or a group of anchors in four tensile failure modes and three shear failure modes as well as splitting, as specified in ACI 318. However, behind the simplicity, the program uses a very sophisticated computation algorithm to address a wide array of situations that one can encounter in the field, many of which are not directly addressed by ACI 318. Users can quickly check a short version of the output to get final results or they can go through a descriptive, detailed version of the output to go through the critical steps of calculation in order to have a better understanding of different failure mechanisms. It is an ideal tool for doing quick iterations for design purposes as well as computing the design strength of existing anchor(s).
Major features:
- Supports the standards of 2006 IBC to 2021 IBC.
- Incorporates provisions of ACI 318-05 through ACI 318-19.
- Incorporates cast-in-place headed bolts, headed studs and hooked bolts.
- Incorporates post-installed adhesive, undercut, and expansion anchors.
- Checks for all special seismic requirements.
- Anchors can be arranged in grid and perimeter patterns.
- Supports application of direct tension, shear forces in x- and y-direction, and bending moments about three axes.
- A clean and intuitive user interface
- Detailed PDF output showing all calculation steps.
- Quick Anchor is supported by an up-to-date database of the commercially available anchors from major manufacturers: Hilti, Simpson Strong-Tie, DEWALT, and ITW Red Head.
- Ease of use – Web-based license activation (no longer requires additional hardware to activate).
