Wire Gauge 4-15mm 2.4X 6mConcrete Building Reinforcing Mesh
Reinforcing Mesh Description:
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 used for the reinforcement of concrete, is manufactured to SANS 1024:2006 and to
other international standard specifications.
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:
Welded mesh fabric mats can be detailed as either flat or bent sheets, depending on the job requirements
Retaining and shear walls
Beams and columns
Concrete paving overlays
Precast concrete elements
Suspended floor slabs
Swimming pool and gunite construction
Welded mesh fabric reinforcement considerably reduces construction time
SANS 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%.
