IES, Inc. creates high quality structural design software for engineering and related professionals. Your solution for general analysis, frames, trusses, shear wall systems, foundations, retaining walls, floor systems and more in steel, wood, concrete, aluminum, cold-formed, and masonry.

QuickRWall is perhaps the best tool on the market for retaining wall design! It will get you out of the 'black box' and into high-quality wall design in short order. The reports are excellent with full equations and intermediate data readily available for complete checking. QuickRWall is very graphical, extremely easy to use, fast, and robust.

Key Benefits:

• Cantilever Retaining Walls.
• Gravity Retaining Walls (ACI Chapter 22 provisions).
• Restrained Walls (e.g. Basement Wall, propped cantilever).
• Wall stems may be concrete or masonry (or mixed).
• Wall stems may be tapered (battered) or stepped.
• Design Checks according to IBC 2009, ACI 318-08, or MSJC 2008.
• Wide variety of loading types.

QuickFooting. Concrete spread footing (single column pad), imports from VisualAnalysis. Design and check reinforced concrete footings under a single column without building a complex analysis model of the building. 

Key benefits:

• Will check several footings all at once (for worst case).
• Automatic sizing and detailing (optional).
• Advanced handling of biaxial loading.
• Offset pedestal from footing center.
• Checks footing, pedestal, and interface.
• Stability checks: Bearing pressure (net & gross), overturning, sliding, and uplift.
• Complete units flexibility.
• Accurate calculation of bearing pressure under biaxial loading.

QuickMasonry is a stand alone tool of masonry components to manage multiple structural components within a single project file. The QuickMasonry "Project Management" tool offers the ability to design a whole series of lintels and walls, for a single building in one project file, following the latest masonry design specifications and offering a host of impressive features. Quick Masonry has been specially designed to display every calculation performed along with any associated diagrams. This complete exposure of calculations is unmatched in the industry and allows the peace of mind that comes from personally viewing and verifying any calculation about which there may be a question.

Masonry Components Handled:

• Lintels & Beams.
• Bearing Walls.
• Panel Walls (loads out of plane).
• Shear Walls.
• Columns and Pilasters.

Design Specifications:

• MSJC-2008 or MSJC-05 Code Provisions (ACI 530, ASCE 5, TMS 402, ASCE 6, TMS 602).
• Strength Design Provisions.
• ASD (Allowable Stress Design) both MSJC-2008 and MSJC-05, reinforced & unreinforced.

QuickConcreteWall specializes in reinforced concrete shear walls and is an excellent tool for detailing a concrete wall subject to in-plane forces. Complex ACI interaction checks are done instantaneously as you tweak design parameters and view the results. Complete rebar detailing is provided in a productivity-quick format.
