Min rebar in machine fnd

Min rebar in machine fnd

(OP)
Fellers,

I am designing a 3'-3" thick machine foundation pad.  The pad is large enough where the 92,000 pound milling machine comes to about 1200 psf overall.  The loading is not great but am I to use rebar reinforcing at a minimum amount based just on the 3'-3" thickness?  I am going to show rebar in the top also to help with crack control or is there a better way for this?

thanks!

I just posted a query on skin reinforcing recently; you might want to review the responses.
