Rebar cage weight = 25 T
= 250 kN
Design load = 1.6 x 250
= 400 kN
Hanger bar numbers used = 2 nos
Hanger bar size = T40
(I) Design Check of Hanger bar T40
T40 shear capacity = 0.6 x As x py/1.15
= 0.6 x (pi x 40^2 / 4) x (460/1.15)
= 302 kN
Design load taken by each hanger bar = 400 / 2
= 200 kN < 302 kN (OK!)
(II) Main bar check
The load taken by each main bar = 400 / 2 / 2
= 100 kN
Tensile capacity of rebar of different diameter = (As x py/1.15)
= (As x 400) N
T20 = 125 kN > 100 kN (OK!)
T25 = 196 kN > 100 kN (OK!)
T32 = 322 kN > 100 kN (OK!)
T40 = 503 kN > 100 kN (OK!)
(III) Welding Design Check
Welding of 6mm fillet weld with 250mm length to be provided for connection between main bar
and hanger bar.
Fillet weld size = 6 mm
Welding strength = 215 N/mm
Welding capacity = 0.7 x 215 x 6 x 250 /1000
= 226 kN > 100 kN (OK!)
Design Consideration:
(1) The hanger bars have to be provided symmetrically throughout bored pile steel cages to ensure loads
uniformly distributed to all hanger bar provided.
(2) This steel cage lifting is only designed for main bar of T25, T32 and T40.
Design Check of Steel cage 25T lifting (Refer to Figure 1)
Note: Alternative of using rebar T32 as hanger bar, with same number of hanger bar,
the maximum lifting capacity is 20T.

Rebar cage weight = 35 T
= 350 kN
Design load = 1.6 x 350
= 560 kN
Hanger bar numbers used = 4 nos

(I) Design Check of Hanger bar T40
T40 shear capacity = 0.6 x As x py/1.15

= 140 kN < 302 kN (OK!)
(II) Main bar check
The load taken by each main bar = 560 / 4 / 2
= 70 kN
Tensile capacity of rebar of different diameter= (As x py/1.15)
= (As x 400) N
T25 = 196 kN > 70 kN (OK!)

Design Check of Steel cage 35T lifting (Refer to Figure 2)
Note: Alternative of using rebar T32 as hanger bar, with same number of hanger bar,
the maximum lifting capacity remained at 35T.
