Abstract:
This specification covers steel welded wire reinforcements to be used for the reinforcement of concrete. The wires shall be assembled by automatic machines or by other suitable mechanical means that shall assure accurate spacing and alignment of all wires of the finished welded wire reinforcement. Test specimens shall be obtained by cutting from the finished welded wire reinforcement a full width section of sufficient length to perform testing. The wire shall withstand mechanical tests such as tensile test and bend test and shall meet the minimum requirements on reduction of area and wear shear strength. The welded wire reinforcement shall be acceptable if the average of all test values across the specimen meets each of the prescribed minimum values.
