Summary
Defining the installation conditions ensures that PROFIS Engineering applies the correct drilling method and hole type, so that post-installed rebar performance reflects realistic installation practices used on site. These two inputs tell the software how the hole is made and what condition it’s in, so that it can use the correct capacities from approvals and testing.
