when we consider column or shear wall to design rcc member according to ACI code

(OP)
hi,
At first i thanks to eng-tips forum. I have been benefited from this forum. Now i m confused about the design criteria of column and wall. ACI 318-11 code describe for special moment resisting structure member which axial force is greater than (Agf'c)/10 must be design as column i,e least dimension to long dimension ratio should be within 2.5 and minimum dimension should be 12 in. But in another section they distinguish column and wall design as width to length ratio i,e if ratio is less than 2.5 than column on the other hand if ratio is greater than 6 than member should be design as wall. now my question is if we have any member for architectural requirement width to length ratio greater than 6, minimum dimension 10" but axial force is Agf'c/10. what should we do in this situation.

Thanks
