Design a One-Way Concrete Slab to ACI 318-19

Design one-way reinforced concrete slabs to ACI 318-19 with live FEA for unlimited spans. Checks moment capacity, shear and three deflection criteria.

Shear Walls

Design a Wood Shear Wall (ASD) to NDS 2024

Design segmented and perforated wood shear walls to AWC SDPWS 2021 and NDS 2024 (ASD), with unit shear, chord forces and a holdown match.

Design a Masonry Shear Wall (LRFD)

Analyze reinforced CMU shear walls for in-plane axial load, moment, and shear under TMS 402/602-22 LRFD provisions, including walls with openings.

Guides and Examples

Use the US Wood Shear Wall Calculator: Basic Guide
