This calculator enables engineers to design reinforced masonry gravity walls subjected to axial loads, out-of-plane bending, and shear using the Strength Design (LRFD) provisions of TMS 402/602-22.
Engineers can define CMU block size, reinforcement configuration, support conditions, and applied loads, allowing the calculator to automatically determine the governing design demands and capacities.
The calculator evaluates factored LRFD load combinations and generates moment-axial interaction diagrams to compare factored demands with the wall’s design capacity.
Built-in analysis automatically determine factored bending moment, axial load, and shear demand, along with the corresponding design capacities, helping engineers quickly verify whether the wall section satisfies code requirements.
Supports both partially and fully grouted reinforced masonry walls, with reinforcement spacing and material properties incorporated directly into the strength calculations.
By combining axial, bending, and shear checks in a single model, this calculator reduces manual calculations, improves visibility of governing load combinations, and helps engineers confidently verify masonry wall designs in accordance with TMS 402/602-22.
