Ah, I just realized that the output file considers the plate elements in the LOCAL coordinate system. That makes a little bit more sense. Thanks!

Thanks for the help so far! However, the output file shows reinforcing required for the Moment-X and Moment-Y which is fine. But my model was design with Y being the vertical axis (eg my loads were applied in the - negative Y direction). Therefore I am interested in the reinforcing required for...

I've used STAAD pro to model a mat foundation as a plate member. The foundation is subjected to varying magnitudes of point loads scattered over the mat in a non-systematic manner. I've managed to get a stress distribution over the plate. I'm brand new to this and I am not sure how to design...
