AASHTO M 55M/M 55-09 (2013) PDF Download

AASHTO M 55M/M 55-09 (2013) is a standard method of testing steel welded wire reinforcement for use in concrete. The purpose of this standard is to provide specifications for welded wire reinforcement that is intended to strengthen and reinforce concrete structures. The standard defines the requirements and properties of the welded wire reinforcement, including the dimensions, tolerances, and mechanical properties.

One important note highlighted in the standard is the use of terminology. The term "welded wire reinforcement" is preferred over "welded wire fabric" or other terms because it is considered to be more representative of the range of products manufactured. This change in terminology has been implemented in this specification and other related specifications.
