(OP)
I'm looking to build a 80'x100' steel building with posts spaced every 20'. Can someone give me an approximate size of the pier footings required?

It depends on the soil capacities and make-up as well as the required loads (dead, live, wind, seismic) for your particular building.

Lots of questions.

Also take 2 aspirins and drink lots of liquids.
One of the nice things about these forums is we may speak openly. But there's alway a worry wort, with a legal disclaimer, always one.

No one can give even half-way legitimate answers via only internet communications, if this were possible we would all be deprived of our fee, regardless of philosophy.
As to your question, the length of the pile must be long enough to prevent uplift. The only reason I wrote in is because the constant legal reminders, by yourself and many others, get in the way of communication on legitimate posts. Your response didn't add anything.

You will want to go to ASAE EP486 DEC92 Post and Pole Foundation Design to have your poles, footings, and piers designed.
Before doing that, you may want to go over ASAE EP282.1 DEC94 to cover Diaphram Design of Metal-Clad, Post-Frame Rectangular Buildings, and ASAE EP2885 EP 288.5 DEC92 Agricultural Building Snow and WInd Loads.
Also note, these standards may have been updated since my current copy here at home is 1995. I doubt much has changed, they tend only to add new areas rather than revise old standards.

If I had a legal question, I would hire a lawyer, not troll for free advice in a lawyer forum.
