Reinforcement calculation using plate stress output from staad by the method of

Wood and Armer

For top reinforcements


Mx1 = Mx + Abs(Mxy)
My1 = My + Abs(Mxy)
Mx2 = Mx + Abx(Mxy2/My)
My2 = My + Abs(Mxy2/Mx)
If both Mx1 and My1 are positive, Mxd = Mx1 and Myd = My1
If both Mx1 and My1 are negative, Mxd = 0, Myd = 0
If Mx1 is positive and My1 is negative, Mxd = Mx2, Myd = 0
If Mx1 is negative and My1 is positive, Mxd = 0, Myd = My2

For bottom reinforcements


Mx1 = Mx - Abs(Mxy)
My1 = My - Abs(Mxy)
Mx2 = Mx - Abx(Mxy2/My)
My2 = My - Abs(Mxy2/Mx)
If both Mx1 and My1 are positive, Mxd = 0 and Myd = 0
If both Mx1 and My1 are negative, Mxd = Mx1, Myd = My1
If Mx1 is positive and My1 is negative, Mxd = 0, Myd = My2
If Mx1 is negative and My1 is positive, Mxd = Mx2, Myd = 0
