Program Description

Leveraging the innovative new Direct Design Handbook for Masonry Structures and the speed of your computer, NCMA's Direct Design Software can reduce the time required to engineer many single-story masonry structures from days to just minutes.  

The design of common, single-story masonry structures follows a pattern. Recognizing this, The Masonry Society developed the Direct Design Handbook (TMS 403): A fast, table-based approach that requires no load calculations or conventional code checks.

  • Based on MSJC-11 and ASCE 7-10
  • Referenced as a "Deemed to Comply" Manual in 2012 IBC and IRC
  • Structures must be single-story and meet other limitations

* Direct Design download link provides trial version of the software.
