To support a load shall be given any number of columns, the dead load of which may cause foundation settlement if the subsoil is not having enough bearing capacity. At a sloppy ground height of columns is more compared to the opposite side and the dead load of the extra height making problem. Simple individual footing is on rock luckily at one of my site, a Parish hall.The columns are connected with grade beams at peripheral. Needn't connected in interior, roof truss and alumuni sheets.
