Daystar Masonry

  • Unlimited loads and combinations
  • UBC, BOCA, SBCCI, and ACI codes
  • Graphical input and output

 

When the requirements of your project include concrete masonry walls, you need fast and accurate designs. Daystar Masonry is your answer.

 

The UBC, BOCA, SBCCI, and ACI 530 building codes are built-in so no matter where you are, Daystar Masonry has you covered.

 

An unlimited number of loads can be added to the wall and parapet including vertical point, horizontal point, and horizontal distributed loads. As you add loads, they appear on the wall, so you immediately know if they are in where you want them. Daystar Masonry will even calculate your lateral seismic loads.

 

Easily change the wall dimensions, physical properties, and loads by simply double-clicking on them and entering the new information.

 

Calculations include shear, axial, moment and combined stresses as well as required reinforcing. Shear, axial, moment, combined stress, steel stress, and shear stress diagrams are displayed for each load case and double-clicking anywhere on the diagrams will display load and stress summaries for that point.
