Two columns are 5.5 meters away from each other. The dimensions and loads supported by each column are listed below (see image). The net allowable soil bearing capacity is 140 kPa. Use f'c=28MPa and fy=275MPa. Note: The 0.45-m column dimension is along the length of the footing. Design a combined footing that will support the two columns.

RECTANGULAR COMBINED FOOTING:

Two columns are 5.5 meters away from each other. The dimensions and loads supported by each column are listed below (see image). The net allowable soil bearing capacity is 140 kPa. Use f'c=28MPa and fy=275MPa. Note: The 0.45-m column dimension is along the length of the footing.

Design a combined footing that will support the two columns.

RECTANGULAR COMBINED FOOTING:
Two columns are 5.5 meters away from each other. The loads supported by
each column are listed below. The net allowable soil bearing capacity is
140 kPa. Design a combined footing that will support the two columns. Use
f = 28 MPa and fy = 275 MPa.
Note: The 0.45-m column dimension is along the length of the footing.
Left Column (0.45m by 0.6m)
DL = 500 KN
LL = 260 KN
Right Column (0.6m by 0.6m)
DL = 560 KN
LL = 550 KN
