Powers Fasteners, Inc., has developed unique interface software to put technical data in a real-time environment and help design professionals better visualize, consider and specify concrete anchors in today's changing engineering environment.

The new Powers Design Assist (PDA) program also helps clear up confusion about the new International Building Code (IBC) code requirements for Strength Design of anchors, according to Powers, which has introduced several anchor products tested to meet or exceed these latest building codes. The real-time anchor design software - developed in accordance with ACI 318 Appendix D - includes post-installed and cast-in-place anchor design provisions. It is available at no cost and features all details design professionals need to choose the right anchor.
