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.
