You are required to perform a comparative RC short column design study according to ACI 318-19 using the following information: service dead load = 800 kips, service live load = 600 kips, concrete strength = 5 ksi, steel reinforcement yield strength= 60 ksi.
1. Design a rectangular tied column the can support the given loads safely and adequately. The column width is 25 inches. Sketch reinforcement in cross-section.
2. Design a circular tied column the can support the given load safely and adequately. Sketch reinforcement in cross-section.
