Welded Reinforcement Mesh supplied by Metech can be classified into
four major types: Rectangular Welded Mesh with wires crossed in a form of a
rectangle, and longitudinal wire as the supporting one; Square opening welded steel mesh with wires crossed in a form of a
square, and both longitudinal and transversal wires as supporting
ones; Welded Wire Mesh for vertical wall building; Special type. Above reinforcement mesh can all be used in concrete reinforcing.
Concrete is one of the more common materials used in the
construction of commercial buildings. Its properties make concrete
an excellent choice for steel structures, cladding systems and
floor slabs on grade.
Although concrete is an excellent building material and is
extremely strong in compression, it has one limitation - concrete
is weak in tension. By combining concrete with material that is
strong in tension, we can create a composite that greatly
reinforced. This type of steel reinforcement used in concrete is
welded wire mesh (WWM) or welded wire fabric (WWF). Concrete reinforcement mesh consists of pieces of wire or rebar
welded together to form a grid pattern. The size of the grid
pattern is typically 4-inch-by-4-inch up to 8-inch-by-8-inch. This
type of reinforcement is used to minimize shrinkage cracking in the
surface of the concrete.
