To clearly understand the bar bending schedule of a pile foundation, it is necessary to be familiar
about the typical reinforcement details of a pile foundation. Pile foundation is a common type of deep
foundation, used for supporting heavy loaded structures when the site under consideration have a
very weak soil that is compressible in nature.

The whole arrangement is clearly understood from the figure-2. The pile cage has vertical
reinforcement held together by outer and inner rings. The Reinforcement in pile construction include:
1. Vertical Reinforcement
2. Outer Ring Reinforcement
3. Inner Ring Reinforcement
The above details are mentioned in the figure-3 below. The Outer rings are provided as helical rings
and the inner is circular or spiral ties.

The development length ‘Ld’ is provided outside of the column piercing into the pile cap. The
anchorage length to the recommended amount is provided to the bottom of the column as shown in
figure-2.

Total Cutting Length for Vertical Reinforcement = Anchorage Length at the bottom of the
pile + the height of the pile + development length (40d) + Lap length (50d) – clear cover
provided at the bottom.
i.e. Lv = 300 + 20000 + 40d +50d -75 = 300 + 20000+ (40 x 12) + (50 x 12) – 75
Note: During tying the bar, it is recommended to tie at the middle, as tying at the ends of the bars
will be subjected to higher stress values.
= [20000/2000] +1 = 11 No’s
The circumference of the ring gives the length of each ring. For this the radius of the ring has to be
determined. Given the radius of the pile, the clear cover, outer ring radius:
The radius of the ring = [Radius of the pile – clear cover – diameter: of outer ring –
diameter: of vertical reinforcement:]/2
