Concrete wire mesh, also known as welded wire mesh or reinforcement mesh, is a type of reinforcement used in concrete construction. It consists of a series of interconnected steel wires welded together to form a grid pattern. These grids are typically square or rectangular in shape and come in various sizes and gauges depending on the specific application.
Concrete wire mesh serves as a reinforcement to strengthen and support concrete structures. It helps distribute loads evenly, control cracking, and improve the overall durability and performance of concrete. The mesh is placed within the concrete at the time of pouring, providing additional tensile strength to complement the compressive strength of the concrete itself.
Concrete wire mesh is available in different configurations to suit different construction needs, including varying wire diameters, mesh sizes, and spacing between the wires. The specific type and size of wire mesh required for a project depend on factors such as the intended use of the concrete, the design requirements, and the structural considerations.
The concrete wire mesh can be in panels and sheets,with open edge or closed edge.
