That will depend on the function of the wall (retaining wall, load-bearing wall, or just a barrier, etc.), the height of the wall, the thickness of the wall and whether there are lateral supports (bracing between span) etc.

Load- bearing, with 18" aluminum letters mounted on it, the letters will be non illuminated and have open backs, 6" wide wall approx. No bracing except with 4" steel tube into a footing, the wall is about 18' long in a arched form, I will use 4 footings.

I may be wrong in my guess: It sounds like a curved wall to display the name of a company, rather than a vertical arch (like a bridge). So, therefore, it is just free-standing, self-supporting, rather than supporting any additional load (as in a building). So the determining factor is the height as it has to resist wind load. For a 6" think wall, wouldn't it be more economical to use concrete blocks, instead of having to deal with custom forms for a curve wall?

I agree that blocks would be easier, but, not what I have speced for costing.
