VGK Design Tool

VGK Design Tool

Easily, quickly and precisely calculate the permissible width of influence of the VGK Cantilevered Parapet Bracket for multiple applications

The VGK Design Tool provides quick and easy support in determining the permissible widths of influence of the VGK Cantilevered Parapet Bracket and anchor forces for your individual project boundary conditions.

 

The App

Once the required VGK confirguration such as parapet width, height and other project-specific conditions are input to the app, the user receives the permissible width of influence of the VGK parapet brackets.

The load bearing capacity of the anchor is already taken into account under approval-compliant boundary conditions.  The requested width of influence for the execution is entered, and the effective anchor forces NSd [kN] and VSd [kN] are displayed in the results data sheet.

The results data sheet sums up all the entered project boundary conditions as well as a comparison of the permissible and existing width of influence.
