CSA G30.15-M1983 (R1998) PDF Download

The CSA G30.15-M1983 (R1998) standard provides guidelines and requirements for the manufacturing and use of welded wire fabric in concrete reinforcement. The standard applies to wire fabric that is made from cold-worked, deformed steel wire or a combination of deformed and non-deformed wires.

The purpose of the standard is to ensure that the welded wire fabric meets the necessary strength and durability requirements for its intended use in concrete structures. It specifies the minimum tensile strength, yield strength, and elongation properties that the wire fabric must possess. Additionally, the standard sets out requirements for the dimensional tolerances, cross-sectional area, and weight of the wire fabric.

The standard also includes guidelines for the manufacturing process, such as the welding procedure and quality control measures to ensure that the fabricated wire fabric meets the specified requirements. It covers testing procedures to verify the mechanical properties and dimensions of the wire fabric, including tension, bend, and shear tests.
