SESOC Gen-Wall 1.3

SESOC Gen-Wall, developed by the Structural Engineering Society of New Zealand (SESOC), is a specialized design and checking tool for reinforced concrete structural walls. It helps structural engineers evaluate wall behavior under gravity and seismic actions and develop efficient, code-aligned detailing for ductile and limited-ductility systems. The software emphasizes transparency and traceability, producing clear calculation outputs suitable for peer review and consent submissions.

Key capabilities:

• Code-aligned design to New Zealand standards (e.g., NZS 3101 and NZS 1170), including axial, flexural, and shear checks, capacity design considerations, and boundary confinement requirements
• Support for single and coupled walls, piers/boundary zones, and walls with openings
• Interaction diagrams and moment-curvature insights to inform reinforcement selection and detailing
• Automatic load combination handling and demand-to-capacity summaries
• Detailing assistance for reinforcement layout, anchorage, lap splices, and spacing limits
• Transparent, reference-backed reports with export options for documentation

Who it’s for:

• Structural engineers designing or reviewing reinforced concrete wall systems in seismic regions
• Teams seeking consistent, repeatable calculations with clear documentation aligned to New Zealand practice

Note: Specific features and standard references may vary by version; consult SESOC’s documentation for the latest capabilities and assumptions.
