For slabs where bending is always in the out-of-plane direction, modifiers m11, m22 and m22 m12  are required to model cracking behavior.

...

Walls are generally not designed for out-of-plane bending to avoid excessive longitudinal reinforcement. In this case, use a small modifier say 0.1 for m11, m22 and m12 so numerical instabilities could be avoided. However, use  m11, mm2m22, mm12 m12 = 0.70 (or 0.35) when considering the out-of-plane bending in wall.

Flat Plates & Flat Slabs....0.25*Ig                         modeled as membrane – f11, f22, f12 = 0.25 / modeled as shell – f11, f22, f12, m11, mm2m22, mm12 m12 = 0.25 (for both cases fxx is not important if rigid diaphragm is assigned)
