Masonry Shear Wall

[namare]

I would like to get a freeware to design masonry shear wall using ACI-530 or UBC 97 also I'd like to find the procedure to do this (by hand). Anybody knows where can I get it?

Please help

Don't know of freeware, but STAAD.etc from REI (

can do it.

Thanks.

I have Staad.etc. It design masonry shear wall following ACI-530 and I was trying to design it using ubc code. I don't have ACI-530. Do you know about big differences between both codes?
