Concrete reinforcing mesh is a Welded Mesh Sheet designed in different sizes and materials. Welded Reinforcement Mesh for construction is regularly used for concrete slab construction, for roadways, in curved structures in domes and concrete pipes. It help enhance the strength and reduce the shrinkage of the concrete structures.
Benefits of Using Welded Wire Mesh used in concrete reinforcing:
Concrete is an excellent choice for steel structures, cladding systems and floor slabs on grade.
Although concrete is an excellent building material and is extremely strong in compression, it has one limitation - concrete is weak in tension. By combining concrete with material that is strong in tension, a composite building material greatly reinforced is formed. The reinforcement can minimize shrinkage cracking in the surface of the concrete. This type of steel reinforcement used in concrete is welded wire mesh (WWM) or welded wire fabric (WWF).
Using reinforcing welded mesh also saves cost, time and labor compared with traditional tied rebar reinforcing.
Structure of Welded Reinforcing Mesh:
Welded Wire Mesh for Reinforcement can be made of ribbed bar or steel wire welded together.
Welded wire mesh panels made of ribbed steel bars bonded via spot welding are popularly used for slab and wall constructions. The ribbed steel rod used can improve bonding to the concrete and minimize any concrete cracking that may occur as a result of concrete shrinkage. This feature enables the ribbed steel weld mesh widely used as building materials for block slab structure reinforcing, and hollowed slabs reinforcement, building wall reinforcement and support wall reinforcement. In practical uses, it is commonly used with bar chairs as supports.
The popular panel size of wire reinforcing mesh is 6m length ×2.4m width. It comes in a variety of bar thickness and the internal square or rectangular sizes. Common square mesh is either 200×200mm or 100×100mm.
