qa=6000 lb/ft2

Weight of footing= 350 lb/ft2

Weight of strap= 6 kips

Weight of soil= 100lb/ft3

Weight of Overburden over strap=100*2.5*5*8 = 10 kips

Where 2.5’ is width, 5’ is depth and 8’ is the length of the strap.

Self-weight of strap =6 kips

Now total load on Exterior column =Pe =D.L +L.L+ [(1/2)*(overburden + Strap weight)]

=170+130+ [(1/2)*(10+6)]

=308 kips

Total load on Interior column= Pi = D.L +L.L + [(1/2)*(overburden + Strap weight)]

=250+200+ [(1/2)*(10+6)]
=458 kips

Now qe= qa – weight of footing – weight of overburden

=600-350-(100*5) =5150 lb/ft2 =5.150 kips

Total Area= (Pe+Pi)/qe

= (308+458)/5.15 = 149 ft2

Now distance from Pe to R where R is the resultant of Pi and Pe

Taking moment at Pe

R*x’ =Pi* 18

x’ =(458*18)/(308+458) = 10.76

x’= distance from the center of the column Pe to the resultant R

From property line the distance of Resultant R is = 0.75+x’

=0.75+10.76 =11.51’

Let L1, B1 are the dimensions of the exterior column and L2 and B2 are the dimensions of the interior
column Pi,

A1=L1*B1 & A2= L2*B2

X =distance from property line up to centroid

= {[(A1*(L1/2))+(A2*(L3+x1)]/(A1+A2)}

Where L3= distance from the center of column Pe to the center of column Pi

& x1= distance from the property line to the center of the column Pe
Now let B1=B2=B then

X= {[(BL12/2)+BL2(L3+x1)]/(BL1+BL2)}

={[(L12/2)+L2(L3+x1)]/(L1+L2)}

= x1+x’ ------------------------------------------------------------(A)

Let assume L1= 7’

Distance from property line to the center of column Pi=18+0.75= 18.75’

Re= reaction at external column

Ri= reaction at internal column

Now take moment about Pi

Re*(18.75-(7/2))= Pe *L3

Re*15.25=308*18

Re= 363.5 K

A1= Re/qe =363.5/5.15 =70.58ft2 =L1*B1

As A1 =L1*B1 so we have L1

So B1=70.58/7 = 10.1’

Let us take B1=10.25’

Now Ri= Pe+Pi-Re =402.5 K

L2= Re/(B2*qe) =402.5/(10.25*5.15)=7.62’

So take L2> 7.62’

Also L2 must have such value that satisfy the given condition of the length

So L2=2(Total length of the footing –c/c distance of the column- distance of Pe center from the
property line)

L2=2(23.25’-18’-0.75’ )=2*4.5=9’> 7.62’ and also satisfy the required condition of the question.

Now put these calculated values in Equation (A) we get

x1+x’= {[(7/2)2+9(18+0.75)]/(7+9)} [ ( 72 )¿¿ 2+ 9(18+0.75)]/(7+9)¿= 11.31’
