RC Wall design

[pipiyedu]

What is the best way to determine the reinforcement of a RC wall as in the photo? which presents bending out of the plane.

The option bending+tension/compression is ok?

Another question, in this picture (http://forums.autodesk.com/autodesk/attachments/autodesk/351/9352/1/panel%20cuts.png) in membrane forces  is selected the xx direction for visualize the vertical forces in the wall. What is the diference between xx and yy in this case?.

Thanks

I would use this option as well.

In -plane forces in the vertical vs horizontal direction.

Thanks Arthur. 

And the results of bending moment is around xx and yy? Or is the direction of the bending?

[Artur.Kosakowski]

For this situation (Direction Z):

Mxx out of the panel plane as if you defined a vertical column

Myy out of the panel plane as if you defined h horizontal beam

Thanks Arthur.

For "automatic" axis apply this picture (is in the online help)?

[Artur.Kosakowski · Accepted solution]

This picture applies to "any" projection (automatic, X, Y, Z, vector). The automatic means in the direction of the local X axis of a panel.

One last question. This option refer to the global axis system?

[Rafacascudo]

Yes
