Wire
mesh as reinforcement reduces the project costs and speed
up the construction period as opposed to rebar since:
·
Wire
mesh is supplied in a ready to place condition and thus
time and manpower for steel, bending and tying are saved.
·
Wire
mesh is easier and faster to place resulting in reduction
of time & cost by 50 - 80 %.
·
Cutting
at site is not needed thus no material loss has to be
calculated.
·
The yield strength of
wire mesh is higher; therefore, the weight of reinforcing
steel is reduced in the range of 40 %. |
