Reinforcing MeshDescription:

Welded mesh fabric used for the reinforcement of concrete, is manufactured to SANS 1024:2006 and to other international standard specifications.

Features

Welded mesh fabric mats are the most commonly used form of prefabricated reinforcement and is particularly suitable for flat slab construction and concrete surface beds. Other designed applications include: Retaining and shear wallsBeams and columnsConcrete paving overlaysPrecast concrete elementsSuspended floor slabsSwimming pool and gunite constructionWelded mesh fabric mats can be detailed as either flat or bent sheets, depending on the job requirementsWelded mesh fabric reinforcement considerably reduces construction timeSANS 1024:2006 designated fabric mats are standard welded reinforcement mats and can be scheduled simply by reference to the fabric type, sheet dimensions and bending shape codes. (The reference is the nominal mass of the fabric in kg/m2 x 100).The cold-rolled deformed wire used in welded mesh fabric has a characteristic strength (0.2% proof stress) a minimum of 485MPa compared to 450MPa for high tensile rebar. Fabric may be used at higher stresses than high tensile rebar resulting in a material saving of up to 8%.
