The Distance from the resultant of the column forces to the center of column B is given as

c.g of loads from centre of Column B (x)= 1.73 m

Assume width of the footing (B) = 1.95 m 6.40 ft
Centre of gravity of the two footings should coincide with the resultant of the two column loads to ensure
uniform soil pressure below the two footings.

Taking moments of footing areas about the centere of column B

AA(L+l/2-L1/2)=(AA+AB)x
AA = B x L1
AB = B x L2
Solving the quadratic equtaion gives
Ax= 0.16 bx= -1.23 C= 1.73
L1= 1.86 m
L2= 1.25 m
Adopt: L1 = 1.95 m
