Welded Steel Wire Fabric for Concrete Reinforcing or Remesh
Reinforcing Mesh is a steel wire welded mesh sheet used to reinforce and increase the tensile strength of concrete, it is also known as Wire Remesh Sheet.
Why is Reinforcing Mesh needed in highway construction project?
Concrete is the basic and important building material in high way guardrail barrier base construction as well as various facilities constructions.
Concrete as building material is extremely strong in compression, however, it is weak in tension, and cracks can be formed during temperature changes and under flexural loads.
By combining concrete with Rebars or Reinforcing Mesh that is strong in tension, the building material can be greatly reinforced. The problem of weak tension can be solved as the steel wire mesh reinforcement minimizes shrinkage cracking in the surface of the concrete.
In a word, Reinforcing Wire Mesh or Wire Remesh Sheet applied on concrete functions to improve bonding to the concrete and minimize any concrete cracking that may occur as a result of concrete shrinkage.
Reinforcing Mesh / Wire Remesh Structures
Steel reinforcement mesh used in concrete is welded wire mesh (WWM) or welded wire fabric (WWF).
Concrete reinforcement mesh is a steel wire or rebar welded together to form a grid pattern in typically 4-inch-by-4-inch up to 8-inch-by-8-inch. Grid opening is square or rectangular.
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.
