Why the reinforcement cage is fundamental to how a CFA pile performs

A CFA pile is not just a column of concrete in the ground. The reinforcement cage inside it is what gives the pile its ability to resist the full range of forces it will experience throughout its design life. Concrete is strong in compression but weak in tension and bending, and a pile without adequate reinforcement is a pile that can only do part of its job. Understanding how reinforcement cages are designed and why the details matter helps explain why this is one of the aspects of CFA piling that deserves careful attention at the design stage and careful execution during installation.
