Hi,
I am designing a combined footing based on ACI 318-14 using STAAD Foundation Advance. Upon checking the calculation sheet (see attached file) from the software, I couldn’t figure out how the following values were computed by the software:
1. One-way shear parallel to longitudinal dimension (1314.76kN) – page 08
2. Top surface distribution reinforcement moment (859.2245kNm) – page 10
Can anyone please explain how STAAD Foundation computes these values?

Did you read the user's/tech manual on the method of analysis and how to interpret the outputs? If still having problems, call/contact the STAAD helpline.
 
Just like pHamENG mentioned, have you done any hand calcs to verify these values?

I don't know if you're aware but combined footing has both positive and negative moments when you do the analysis.
