Spreadsheet For Sign Structure - Reinforcement

This document analyzes the steel reinforcement for a beam with a width of 12 inches, effective depth of 4 inches, and concrete compressive strength of 2,500 psi. It finds that the area of tension reinforcing is 0 square inches, resulting in an actual reinforcement ratio of 0 and nominal moment capacity of 0 foot-pounds. It therefore recommends using two mats of reinforcing bars on top and bottom with a specified size and spacing.

Nominal moment capacity of a 12" strip, Mn= (As x fy)(d-(a/2))= 0.00E+00 lb-ft

Actual factored moment on a 12" strip of the footing= #DIV/0! lb-ft

Use two mats of reinforcing, top and bottom (3" cover) of:
#X bars at XX" OC perpendicular to sign face
# X bars at XX" OC parallel to sign face
