Munykong,
Frankly, i think this shall be able to calculate by hands.
As for the 4 legged tower, presumably you have the same (or somewhat similar) axial load. Then it is the 'reverse' flat slab.
As for the the 3 legged tower, it's a combination of the flat slab and the 3 pile caps group.
It's a good practice, and i always advise my juniors, to start with manual calculation before proceed to any programs.
