Nominal moment capacity of a 12" strip, Mn= (As x fy)(d-(a/2))= 0.00E+00 lb-ft
Design moment capacity of a 12" strip, [phi]Mn= 0.9 x Mn= 0.00E+00 lb-ft
Actual factored moment on a 12" strip of the footing= #DIV/0! lb-ft
#DIV/0!

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
