I have a fairly small, lightly loaded foundation that Ram Foundation is saying needs an excessive amount of steel - unless I'm missing a reason why.
ACI318-02, DL = 23.21k, LL = 22.99k, Lr = 4.26k
It is telling me that I need 4.06 sq in of steel per Section 7.12 (Shrinkage and Temperature).
Am I missing something here? (Also, on my larger, heavily loaded footings, it is also saying 7.12 is the code reference for design here too when moment is controlling this one.) Is this just a bad reference?
