Mudmat connections design moment calculation

Mudmat connections, C1 and C2 (Figure 1) are expected to transfer Forces in 3 directions
and moment about X axis (effectively constraining all degrees of freedom of the additional mudmats)

From the overall foundation design loads and max/min bearing pressure, it can be observed
that the bearing pressure varies significantly in the length (X) direction, whereas minimal variation
is expected in the breadth (Y) direciton. Figure 2 shows the pressure distrubtion along X axis
Figure 3 shows pressure distribution along Y axis.
