I am beginning my planning and construction of a small loop antenna for 80
meters. The loop will be constructed out of 3/4" copper pipe, octagon
shaped, and have a perimeter of 72 feet. The plane of the loop will be
vertical and will be resonated by a variable capacitor in series with the
top pipe section. The voltage and current through the capacitor have very
large values.

and advice will be greatly appreciated.

That loop is detailed in chapter 5 of the ARRL Antenna Book (19th
ed.). Might be worth getting the book if you're going to build it.
