Rebar Cage building and protection: top Practices provides instructions for the secure dealing with of metal reinforcing-bar (rebar) cages during the layout, fabrication, and erection strategy. the focal point is on rebar cages used for big, cast-in-place concrete columns in quite a few settings, together with bridge piers, increased road sections, and high-rise structures. those cages are inherently risky, often held jointly by means of tie-wire on my own. they're not easy to manufacture, to raise from the horizontal to the vertical place, and to aid within the transitority situation until eventually concrete is solid. Engineered transitority aid structures, comparable to bracing or cable-guy platforms, can mitigate the instability of status rebar cages and withstand lateral quite a bit, making sure higher defense for the iron employees tasked with hiking the cages. themes comprise: review of rebar cages; organizational administration for rebar cages; development engineering; checklists of top practices for building; and precis, conclusions, and proposals. This quantity describes most sensible practices for development engineering and building perform relating to rebar cages. it will likely be worthwhile to building engineers operating with huge columns for the 1st time in addition to building contractors trying to determine rules and approaches concerning rebar column safeguard

The following checklist is recommended before the column erection work: 1. Have you completed a Job Hazard Analysis? 2. Establish who will direct the crane operator; determine if hand signals or radio will be used to communicate. 3. Have all guy lines & braces (if required) been installed on column prior to erection? Ensure guy lines & braces are easily accessible without the need to climb the column. Check cable clamps. 4.
