RAM Foundation Strip Footing Required Reinforcement

I have a strip footing that has an excessive amount of required transverse bottom reinforcement.  When I allow the program to optimize the footing the required transverse bottom reinforcement produces a capacity that is 20 time larger than required.  I tried hooking the transverse bars to see if it was a bar development issue that did not change the outcome.  Here is a screen shot of the footing design required by the software.

What is causing the software to calculated this large required transverse bottom reinforcement?
