pedestal ties
(OP)
if i provide just minimum rebar for a 5ft - 32x32in pedestal, do i still need to satisfy the ties every other bar or less than 6"?
say i provide 12 bars. do i need ties in between?

The ties make construction easier usually anyway.

However, I'd say you can likely design it as "Plain Concrete" per Section 22.8. In this case you would not need tie bars, but you also could not consider the contribution of your vertical steel.

For lightly loaded pedestals, not part of LLRS, and not in a high seismic zone, we only use outer ties at 12" o.c. We don't provide cross ties etc. However, we do show 3 ties at 4" o.c. at top of the pedestal.
Some time back I had posted a similar thread507-312673: Criterion for classifying a beam-column into flexural and compression. I did not get much of a response.
