A 30m x 30m piece of land was purchased for the construction of a three-story building. The total vertical load from the building will be 3kN/m for each floor. The weight of the building will be supported by the square columns and the loads will be transferred to the ground through 9 isolated square footing each 1.5 long and 1.5m wide. The arrangement of the column is as shown in plan view. GWT(m) 20
