I am now designing a raft footing by "SAFE" for which many structural walls resting on it.
I model the loadings from these walls as line loads. Three loading components for each line load are included,namely, vertical axial load, in-plane major wall moment and out-of-plane minor wall moment.
Please tell me the sign convention for these loading components so that I will not input in the wrong sign,i.e., positive wrongly input as negative and negative wrongly input as positive.
Many thank !!!!
