QuickConcreteWall Description

QuickConcreteWall is a software package that was created in order to help the engineer in the design of concrete walls. Use of this program can save countless hours in the calculations and documentation associated with concrete wall design. The software has been designed so that the user may quickly become productive with very little training. Main features: Modeling: A rectangular wall, or wall with columns at the ends Reinforcement: Specify horizontal & vertical bars, column longitudinal bars (if columns), and ties Single-curtain* or double-curtain reinforcement Multiple (independent) walls* may be designed in a single project file Specify extents of special boundary elements (seismic provisions) Specify manner in which horizontal wall bars are embedded into columns (or boundary elements): Straight, hooked, or not at all Option to have crossties on every column longitudinal bar, or only as required by code Specify whether or not column longitudinal bars use a tangential lap splice Enter the design displacement for seismic design (when seismic provisions are to be used) Loading: Supported loads: shear, In-plane moment, axial loading No limit on the number of load sets that can be entered Load combinations & factoring performed automatically Custom load combinations can be entered Optionally include the self-weight of the wall Specify shear loads at the top of the wall or at the base Design Checks Performed: Checks concrete walls for in-plane forces IBC 2009 and ACI 318-08 specifications ACI Ch. 21, (seismic) including special boundary elements Wall minimum reinforcement (horizontal & vertical) of ACI Ch 14 Wall reinforcement max spacing (horizontal & vertical) of ACI Ch 14 Wall shear strength according to ACI Ch 11 Wall & column detailing requirements of ACI Ch 7 Wall flexure/axial interaction strength per ACI Ch 10 Wall shear strength according to ACI Ch 21 (when seismic provisions are to be used) Wall steel ratio/spacing according to ACI Ch 21 (when seismic provisions are to be used) Special boundary element detailing & related checks of ACI Ch 21 Results: Demand/Capacity ratios with clear Pass/Fail indicators All check equations shown graphically for easy verification Context-specific drawings related to each group of calculations Interaction diagram plotted for each load case Easy identification of the load combination that controlled Calculates development and splice lengths for wall & column Reports: Full-color reporting for a professional look and easy reading Detailed design sketch Echo of input data Extremely customizable, from a summary to full-calculation details
