Design a combined footing to support two columns spaced 18 ft apart, and left column carries total load of 350 kips(40% live load) and right column carries a total load of 400 kips(40% live load). The left column is centered 1 ft from the property line and both columns are 24 in.x18 in. in cross-section. The allowable soil bearing pressure is 5000 psf. The bottom of the footing will be 6 ft below grade. Design the combined footing for these columns using fe=3000 psi, fy=40,000 psi. [Note: No need to design in the transverse direction].
