ADU & Wood Shear-Wall Lateral
FlagshipFull lateral package to ASCE 7-22, Exposure B, SDC D. The calc you run on every ADU.
Fast, code-current calculation tools for residential structural engineers — ADU lateral, retaining walls, and more. Built to ASCE 7-22 and CBC 2025.
The problem
You rebuild the same shear-wall spreadsheet on every project. SolidCalcs is just the residential calcs you actually run — done right, ready to stamp.
The tools
Each tool outputs a clean, stamp-ready calculation package. No spreadsheet archaeology.
