A $16"\backslash$times $16"$ square reinforced concrete tied column is used at the ground floor of a braced multi$-$story building. The $28-$day compressive strength of the concrete is $8000$psi, and the column is reinforced with $12$#$11$ vertical bars and #$4$ ties @$12"$ o$.$c$.$ Assume f

$=4($b$).$ Calculate the axial compression load capacity of the column in kips, assuming small eccentricity. $4($b$).$ Supporting your answer with calculations, does the column vertical rebar ratio at the column lap splice location $($see column elevation below$)$ satisfy the ACI $318$ Code? Assume the ground floor column rebar below the $2$
