Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a cage for reinforcing a concrete pile.
  • a cage by first producing support structures which comprise transverse frames, that may be formed by a rod bent into a circle or a polygon, and longitudinal rods that are secured to the frames to keep the frames at the correct distance apart and in planes that are correctly inclined relative to the longitudinal axis of the cage.
  • support structures which comprise transverse frames, that may be formed by a rod bent into a circle or a polygon, and longitudinal rods that are secured to the frames to keep the frames at the correct distance apart and in planes that are correctly inclined relative to the longitudinal axis of the cage.
  • two or more such support structures are placed in line with one another and the longitudinal cage bars are positioned on the frames and secured to the support structures.
  • spacer wheels has certain associated disadvantages.
  • they because of the cost of the spacer wheels and the labour involved in mounting them on the cage, they add considerably to the expense. Furthermore, they can be dislodged while the cage is being lowered into the bore, for example if they meet an obstruction or if they received a knock during rough handling of the cage. If this should occur, there is no way of knowing that they have come away and this may lead to cage misalignment. Astill further problem is that they can interfere with the flow of concrete in the bore.
  • the invention therefore seeks to provide a support structure that can enables a cage to be constructed in such a manner that its correct alignment in a concrete pile can be ensured without the need for plastics spacer wheels.
  • a support structure for use in the production of a cage for reinforcing a concrete pile, the support structure comprising at least two transverse frames and a plurality of metal rods secured to and extending between the transverse frames, wherein at least three of the rods extending between the frames have radially outwardly offset guide portions that lie outside the volume bounded by the frames and that are rendered corrosion resistant.
  • the guide portions may be made corrosion resistant by being covered with a suitable coating, such as a plastics material, or by being treated against corrosion, such as by galvanisation.
  • the metal rods are preferably evenly distributed about the circumference of the transverse frames, the optimum number of rods being dependent upon the size of the frames.
  • Figure 1 shows a support structure 10 formed of two circular frames or rings 12, 14 connected to one another by four longitudinal metal rods 16.
  • the frames 12, 14 need not be circular and the number of metal rods may be three or more.
  • Each of the metal rods 16 has a radially outwardly offset guide portion 18 that lies outside the volume bounded by the frames 12, 14.
  • the guide portions 18 are covered with a plastics material 20 which may be preformed plastics sleeves fitted over the metal rods prior to their being bent to form the cranked guide portions. Instead of a coating, these guide portions 18 may be galvanised to withstand corrosion.
  • Figure 4 shows an alternative form of sleeve 20' having a flat outer surface, defined by flanges 20a and 20b that extend laterally from both sides of the sleeve.
  • Figure 2 shows a complete cage formed of two support structures 10 arranged at opposite ends of the cage.
  • Four bars 24 are secured to the support structures 10 and pass inside the frames 12 and 14.
  • the plastics covered guide portions 18 lie outside the volume bounded by the cage bars 24 and act to guide the cage as it is being lowered into a bore and to centre the cage within the bore.
  • These guide portions therefore act in place of spacer wheels but offer the considerable advantage of being integral with the cage so that they cannot be dislodged while the cage is being lowered into a bore.
  • the cost of a cage incorporating such guide portions is less than a cage fitted with spacer wheels, there being both material and labour savings to be achieved by the construction of the invention.
  • a cage constructed using the support structures of the invention is also found to meet less resistance and to require less effort when it is driven into wet concrete.
  • the guide portions are used for centring the cage, there need only be three. In larger cages, on the other hand, it may be desirable to use more than four.
  • the rods are also used to locate the cage bars, it is advantageous, though not essential to provide as many rods as there are main bars in the cage.
  • the number of offset guide portions is determined in part by the size of the cage and in part by the hardness of the soil. Larger cages require more guiding and the same applies to soft soil.
  • the strength of the support structure is improved in that it can better withstand axial forces, without the bent rods being deformed from their desired shape.
