In structural engineering, a shear wall is a vertical element that resists lateral forces, typically from wind and seismic loads. Perforated shear walls are simply shear walls with openings in them. In this session, you’ll learn about the design of perforated masonry shear walls. See how finite element analysis (FEA) software solutions can generate efficient structural masonry wall designs, with a focus on RAM Elements and RISA 3D. Get inspired by a series of case studies that use FEA software to design masonry shear walls. Reserve your spot here.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify types of masonry shear walls.
• Learn methods to improve the effectiveness of masonry shear walls in structural masonry.
• Acquire knowledge of various finite element analysis (FEA) software solutions for masonry shear walls.
• Explore various case studies where FEA software was used to design masonry shear walls.
