Abstract

Prefabricated Cage System (PCS) can be used as an alternative to the traditional rebar system.PCS is a prefabricated reinforcement that enables easier, faster and more reliable construction. PCS reinforcement is prefabricated off site and then placed inside the formwork eliminating the time consuming and costly labour associated with cutting, bending and tying steel bar in traditional rebar construction. Behaviour of column specimens reinforced with a Prefabricated Cage System (PCS) is investigated. A total of 3 Prefabricated Cage Columns is selected and it is subjected to both seismic loading horizontally. The stress-deformation results are evaluated in ANSYS. The effect of different parameters, such as the tube thickness, perforation pattern are also investigated analytically.
