Masonry Shearwall - 2 story with perforations

Masonry Shearwall - 2 story with perforations

(OP)
Does anyone know of a program that handles 2 story CMU shearwall design, with openings/perforations?

Much Appreciated,

Dave

RE: Masonry Shearwall - 2 story with perforations

RISA and Ram Advanse(or whatever it is called now) can both design the shear walls.  However, unless it is a very complex wall a hand calc. is very quick and easy.

Thanks Sandman, The Ram Advanse guy has been beating my door down trying to get me to buy that...but you are right, it's probably not worth the digging, just do it by hand, it's not that complicated of a wall or loading.  Thanks.
