8. Design column for axial load only. Include the design of ties and a sketch of the cross-section selected, including bar arrangements. The column is assumed to be short Square tied column: PD= \( \mathbf{3 0 0} \mathrm{k}, \mathrm{PL}=\mathbf{5 0 0} \mathrm{k} \), \( f^{\prime}=4000 p s i \), and \( f y=60,000 p s i \). Initially assume \( \rho g=3 \% \).
