With the use of this program, the engineers will be able to create the design of safe masonry buildings in the seismic regions of Europe. This formation was supported with the introduction of Eurocode 6 and 8 in Europe. These standards become compulsory in the European Union that commences from March 2010, and they employ strong rules for masonry buildings in seismic regions. By applying pushover analysis and the corresponding frame method to examine the seismic safety of masonry buildings in a graphical user-friendly environment.
Demo version is automatically incorporated in the program. The unregistered / unpaid version of the program automatically functions in the demo mode.
The demo mode is restricted to 10 frame elements. This limitation does not include the examples provided in the installation.
The software contains the following features :-
- Brick choice - Choose your masonry unit out of the catalogue of Wienerberger products
- CAD building floor plan is directly imported through DXF
- Seismic assessment is done with pushover analysis
- It adheres to Eurocode 2, 6, and 8
