Shearwalls 2020WoodWorks® Shearwalls, design light wood frame structures up to 6 storeys. At the push of a button, wind and seismic loads are generated, forces are distributed, and shearwalls are designed.
-
-
-
Automatically generates wind loads as per NBC Static Procedure or Low Buildings Procedure
-
Automatically generates seismic loads following the NBC Equivalent Static Force Procedure
-
Distributes lateral loads to shear lines according to flexible and rigid diaphragm analyses
-
Distributes lateral loads within shear lines based on shearwall stiffness or capacity
- Designs shearwalls with or without hold-downs
-
Optimizes shearwall design by iterating and automatically selecting the most economical sheathing (plywood, OSB or gypsum) and nailing patterns
-
Includes designs of shearwall sheathing and nailing for out-of-plane wind loads
-
Calculates shearwall deflection using “3-term” or “4-term” deflection equations
-
Checks storey drift for wind and seismic as per NBC requirements
- Automatically detects seismic irregularities and implements corresponding NBC provisions
-
Determines anchor bolt and drag-strut forces
-
Allows additional manual load inputs for shearwall design
- Import .pdf, .bmp, .wmf and .emf files from AutoCAD as templates for floor layouts
Detailed and transparent reporting of results, including:
-
-
-
One-page design summary of all critical design results and alerts
-
Shearwall materials summary table (for developing a shearwall schedule)
- Shearwall force versus resistance tables
-
Shearwall deflection and wind and seismic storey drift tables
-
Hold-down design tables
-
Sheathing and nail withdrawal design table for wind pressure
-
Drag-strut force tables
-
Tabulated results for wind and seismic load generations and torsional analysis
-
And much more!
Did you know? Modelling a structure is quick and easy: start from a blank slate or use a pdf or wmf file as a template. See our video showing how typical buildings can be modeled in minutes!
