The ACI code provide various aids for the design of short columns under both compression and flexure. One of this design aids takes the form of interaction diagrams that plot the column capacity for various geometries, material properties and reinforcement ratios. For this project you are required to write a function that generates the same interaction diagrams for rectangular columns with two layers of reinforcement. This function should receive as input the concrete and steel properties, dimensions of the column, steel covering and the type of lateral reinforcement (ties or spirals) and the output should be the plot of the interaction diagram for various reinforcement ratios. Attached here is a copy of the section in the textbook by Nilson et. al. covering the topic of short columns and a couple of examples of interaction diagrams.
