Shear-free Walls
The walls in the model can be set to "Shear-free", in order to simulate the pre-fabricated concrete panels, or load bearing masonry walls.
This is especially important for lateral load analysis, where the lift core walls are usually cast-in-site and they take most of the lateral loads; while other walls, such as pre-fabricated panels take only the vertical loads.
With all so many structural building analysis software out there, R/C Building stands out as the one that has the leanest tool sets to master, yet provides the engineers with the powerful and sufficient tools to complete their design job.
Using R/C Building 2009, user can construct a model in a matter of a day or two, saving the valuable time to review the structure and modifiy the design based on the comprehensive results the software produces.
"For reinforced concrete buildings, R/C BUILDING software wins hands down as a lateral analysis and design tool, and we will continue to use it for our lateral analysis checks."
