RISA 3D moment output question

RISA 3D moment output question

RISA 3D moment output question

(OP)
Hi,
  I'm modelling the 2 cores of a 7 story building using RISA 3D.  The cores are on 30" thick mat foundations connected to 3 adjacent footings.  One footing is part of the mat, and the other 2 are connected to the mat by strap beams.  When I run the model and plot the moment contours, the moments are given in k*ft.  This may be a stupid question, but are these moment outputs about each axis in units of k*ft/ft?  I have a moment value of 44.1 k*ft for one of the color contours.  Is this the total moment in that area or is that the moment per ft of foundation/slab?  I can't find it in the manual.  It just says that the moment is output in k*ft.
Thanks
