Update:Dec-24 6
 Requirements for redundant fastening
The definition of redundant fastening according to Member States is given in EN 1992-4 and CEN/TR 17079. In
Absence of a definition by a Member State the following default values may be taken.
Minimum number Minimum number of anchors per Maximum design load of action
of fixing points fixing point FSd per fixing point
3 1 2 kN
4 1 3 kN

The value for maximum design load of actions per fastening point FSd is valid in general that means all fastening
points are considered in the design of the redundant structural system. FSd can be a tension, shear or inclined load.

We recommend checking your designs in Hilti’s PROFIS Engineering software to verify the edge & spacing values.
ETA-21/0878 provides formulae for the calculation of flexible edge & spacing for each anchor layout configuration
depending on base material thickness.
Minimum spacing and edge distance values on the tables below are recommendations for specific anchor layout
and base material dimensions.
