Questions and Answers

What is the primary purpose of the bracing used during the erection of a rebar cage?

  • To hold the cage plumb during the placing of formwork and concrete casting (correct)
  • To prevent the rebar cage from buckling and collapsing
  • To provide additional structural support to the rebar cage
  • To facilitate the lifting of the rebar cage into place

    • Why is the erection and bracing of column rebar cages often left to the means and methods of the contractor?

  • It is a cost-saving measure for the project
  • It is rarely under the guidance of a professional engineer (correct)
  • It is a standard industry practice that requires no oversight
  • It is a simple process that does not require specialized expertise

    • What are the potential consequences of the lack of guidance from a professional engineer during the erection of rebar cages?

  • No significant consequences, as the contractors are experienced in this process
  • Improved safety for the workers handling the rebar cages
  • Buckling and collapse of the rebar cage, leading to significant delays (correct)
  • Increased efficiency and cost savings for the project
