The primary function of the reinforcing cage is analogous to that of the longitudinal reinforcement in a column: it primarily resists tensile forces. Concrete exhibits high compressive strength but very low tensile strength. The cage also provides confinement to the pile concrete, enabling it to withstand certain lateral loads.
During the construction of bridges, culverts, or high-rise buildings, pile foundations may be required as specified. This is typically accomplished by using mechanical augering and water‑drilling to create boreholes that meet the design depth requirements. Subsequently, a steel reinforcement cage is lowered into the borehole, followed by the insertion of a tremie pipe for concrete placement.
Additionally, when a concrete structure consists of columnar or strip-shaped members, reinforcement is not required in the central portion; steel reinforcement is placed only beneath the surfaces of the concrete member that are exposed to the air. If such a member is independent, the perimeter reinforcement is prefabricated into a steel cage. Typically, pre‑fabricated reinforced structures for drilled shafts, bored piles, columns, and similar elements are referred to as steel cages.
