Every anchor design software that I'm aware of (i.e. Hilti Profis, Dewalt Design Assist, Simpson Strong Tie Anchor Designer) can't handle circular sections of concrete (i.e. drilled pier), and can only handle rectangular sections of concrete. Am I missing something here or is there another software people use for drilled piers? Or have one of these been finally updated and I'm not aware?
I know I can do the calc by hand and I also know that I can conservatively use a square with dimensions so that it fits within the circle (square circumscribed by the pier diameter), but have to imagine there's something out there. Or if there's another helpful workaround people have, it would be nice to know, thanks!
