Oh I prefer the easy way 
I posted a link to the video about this a week or two ago. This is how to design this type of foundation "according to accepted engineering practice" to use the phrase.
I followed the link in the video to the page for the Design Aid here;

I made entries into the software till I got over my head... The above popped into my email this afternoon, it looks like the answers to those questions. I'll be trimming windows when the presentation happens tomorrow but I see the powerpoint and pdf are already posted. Hopefully I'm leaving breadcrumbs for those who would like to do this without just guessing.
