This spring and summer I plan to replace a poorly built pole barn with a real building. I asked a year ago about the concrete piers I was planning to use and was given some good advice about them including the name of the shape in the thread at the link below. Basically they will be a tapered footing 22x22" on the bottom and 8x8" on the top and 5' tall, set 4' in the ground. I am now wondering about reinforcement for these piers and have been doing some research without finding out anything very definitive. There is no code here for agricultural buildings so I don't have to worry about that, just about what will actually work well. I have three older books on concrete but none addresses this situation and online information has been contradictory. There will be 20 of these piers in a 28x48 small barn-type building with a loft. I am thinking of using 4 lengths of #4 rebar per pier, roughly paralleling the four corners about 4" inside the concrete and coming together at the top. Then I could set an anchor bolt in the top of each pier to fasten the 8x8 posts on. I am wondering if this seems reasonable and what I would need to tie the rebars together lower down in the pier. I could make a square or a ring out of rebar or I could just use some wire to hold them while the concrete is poured. Any advice will be much appreciated. Zach
