Standard welded wire mesh for concrete reinforcement

STANDARD WELDED WIRE MESH FABRIC FOR CONCRETE REINFORCEMENT

SPECIFICATIONS

1) STANDARD MESH FOR CONCRETE REINFORCEMENT

The production of mesh reinforcement complies to BS
4483. Mesh is produced from cold reduced deformed
steel wires according to BS 4482.

a) Mechanical Properties

● Specified characteristic strength: 460 N/mm²

● Tensile Strength: min 510 N/mm². In addition
either the tensile strength recorded in the tensile
test shall be at least 5% greater than the
recorded yield strength or alternatively the
minimum elongation shall be not less than 12%
measured on a gauge length of 5do.
● Shear strength of the weld: The shearing load
required to produce failure of a welded
intersection shall be not less than 0.25 A fy,
where A is the nominal cross-sectional area of
the smaller wire at the welded intersection and fy
is the characteristic yield stress of the wire (460
N/mm²).

b) Chemical composition of steel

Carbon C: max 0.25%

Sulphur S: max 0.060%
Phosphorous P: max 0.060%
Carbon Equivalent Value Ceq: max 0.42%
Where Ceq = C + Mn/6 + (Cr+V+Mo)/5 +
(Cu+Ni)/15

STEEL Cold reduced, high tensile, deformed, according to BS 4482

Note 7/5(º): Mesh Type Q257 is produced with cross wires Y7/150mm.
Longitudinal wires in the middle section of the sheet are again Y7/150mm, while in
the marginal areas, on either side, the longitudinal wires are Y5/150mm (3 No
Y5mm on each side). This is saving weight at the side overlapping areas.
