Provides analysis of reinforced concrete shear walls:
- strength and ductility in accordance with NZS 3101:2006
- doubly-symmetric: rectangular with optional flanged or enlarged ends
V1.3.1 Date: 2/5/2023
- Add maximum shear stress limit check for nominally ductile wall design
- Minor improvements to calculation output
- Fix out-of-memory error occurring during loading of some data files
- Improve auto-spacing of reo for small end zone
V1.3 Date: 2/2/2023
- Changes to overstrength shear calculations
- Allow nominally-ductile singly-reinforced walls
- Include sliding shear check
- Update reporting for walls with high axial loads
- Report location of resultant forces
- Fix treatment of Cl 11.3.12.8
- Update reo layout algorithm when end zone spacing is different to mid-region
- Minor changes to some nomenclature
- Allow optional tolerances when checking limits
- Improve ‘sanity’ checks
- Fix out-of-memory error when bar spacing is zero
- Improve fit of Gen-Wall graphics for squat rectangular wall
- Improve diagram annotation and layout for some edge-case scenarios
- Custom PDF headers
- Improve mouse navigation of Results screen
- Improved indication of user data changes
V1.2 Date: 1/7/2021
- Allow user specification of overstrength shear demand
- Fix issue with setting boundary element internal bars with large number of rows
- Minor changes to calculation output
V1.1.1 Date: 29/9/2020
- Improved ‘sanity’ checks for data input
V1.1 Date: 6/7/2020
- Questions have been raised regarding the appropriateness of singly-reinforced rectangular walls subject to reverse cyclic loading and likely instability under load reversal. As this is currently being debated at industry level, the singly-reinforced wall option has been removed from Gen-Wall in the interim
- Batch/auto mode
V1.0 Date: 28/5/2020
- Initial upload
- (Build 220, 11/6/2020) Fix implementation of Eq 11-29 check
