Tocalculatethequantityofsteelspirals(orspiralties)insteelcage(orsometimesrebar
cage)forpiles(reinforcedconcreteorboredpile),youhavetohavethefollowing
informations(checkthedetailsinthedrawings):
a)diameterofpile
b)lengthofpile
c)pitchofspirals(spacingofspirals)
d)sizeofspiral(diameterofbar)
Forexample,youaregivena1.5mdiameterboredpilewithalengthof20meterswhere
spiralpitchis100mm.Usea12mmdiameterspiralties.
Tosolvethequantityinkilograms,followthestepsbelow:
a)Computethenetdiameterofboredpile,i.e.diameterofboredpilelessclearconcrete
cover,say50mm.Hence,netdiameter=1.5m2*0.05=1.4m.
b)Calculatethecircumferenceofthespiral,consideritasacircleorring,soC=pi*d,
wherepi=3.1416andd=1.4m,thereforeC=4.40m
c)Determinetheno.ofspiralsbydividingthelengthofpilebythegivenpitch,sonumber
ofspirals=20/0.1+1=201
d)Determinethetotallengthofspiralsbymultiplyingitsnumberbyitscircumference,
hence,Totallength=201x4.4=884.4m
e)Unitweightofa12mmdiametersteel=0.888kg/m
f)Finally,totalquantityofspiralsexpressedinkgs=totallengthxunitweight=785.35
kgs.
