Reinforcing cage assembly and method of constructing a part of a reinforced concrete structure comprising said reinforcing cage assembly

摘要

This invention relates to a reinforcing cage attachment, to an assembled reinforcing cage, and to a method of constructing a part of a reinforced concrete structure. The attachment is designed to facilitate ease of fitment of connectors whereby an assembled reinforcing cage can be secured to other parts of a reinforced concrete structure. The attachment comprises a substantially linear carrier adapted to locate a set of couplers, whereby the relative positions and orientations of the couplers can be predetermined by the attachment manufacturer, avoiding the complexity and uncertainty associated with on-site assembly of individual couplers. The invention is particularly suitable for use in interconnecting the reinforced concrete piles of underground structures such as car parks and the like.
