Steel Mesh to AS/NZS 4671

Steel Mesh is a steel mesh structure made by welding or tying steel bars at specific intervals and arrangements. It is widely used in construction to enhance the strength and stability of concrete structures. Applications: 1. Concrete Reinforcement: Reinforcing mesh is commonly placed in concrete elements such as floors, walls, bridges, tunnels, and pavements to improve tensile, compressive, and crack resistance. 2. Precast Components: Used in precast concrete slabs, columns, and beams to increase overall strength and durability. 3. Foundation Reinforcement: Reinforcing mesh strengthens the soil and improves load-bearing capacity in foundations, especially in large-scale infrastructure like roads and airport runways. 4. Crack Prevention: In large concrete pours, reinforcing mesh helps prevent cracks caused by temperature changes or shrinkage, maintaining structural integrity. Advantages: - High Efficiency: Simplifies the installation process, speeding up construction. - Uniform Quality: Factory-made mesh ensures consistent spacing and quality. - Material Savings: Reduces steel usage and waste, lowering project costs.
