Devise a spiral-shaped short column for a combined dead load of 450 kips (inclusive of self-weight) and a live load of 325 kips, passing through the column's centroid as depicted in Figure 2. The column's diameter is chosen for architectural considerations, and the design is limited to #8 bars. Referencing the f value in ACI 318-14, establish the minimum number of #8 bars needed to withstand the factored loads. Additionally, compute the theoretical maximum spacing for the #3 spiral reinforcement and determine the ultimate axial load capacity of the column. Explain why the strength reduction factor (f) specified in ACI 318-14 for spiral columns is greater than that for tied columns, providing at least one rationale
