Guide for the Specification, Manufacture, and Construction Use of Welded Wire Reinforcement
Also Known As:
ACI 439.5R-18 is a standard titled "Guide for the Specification, Manufacture, and Construction Use of Welded Wire Reinforcement." This standard focuses on providing guidelines and recommendations for the use of welded wire reinforcement (WWR) in concrete construction.
WWR is a prefabricated reinforcement made up of high-strength cold-worked steel wires that are resistance-welded together in square or rectangular grids using continuous automatic welders. The standard covers various aspects related to WWR, including product information, material specifications, design recommendations, and detailing guidelines.
The standard also provides an overview of the manufacturing process for WWR, including information on quality control measures and testing procedures. It addresses shipping considerations, such as packaging and handling, to ensure that the WWR reaches the construction site in good condition.
Furthermore, the standard offers guidance on the construction use of WWR in different applications of concrete construction. It covers topics such as placement and positioning of WWR, splicing and lapping requirements, and anchorage and support details.
