CSA G30.5-M1983 (R1998) PDF Download

The CSA G30.5-M1983 (R1998) standard provides guidelines and specifications for the use of welded wire fabric in concrete reinforcement. This standard aims to ensure the quality and effectiveness of welded steel wire fabric in enhancing the structural integrity and durability of concrete structures.

The standard covers various aspects of welded wire fabric, including its materials, dimensions, fabrication, and testing requirements. It defines the wire sizes, spacing, and configuration of the fabric, which are important factors in determining its strength and performance.

This standard also provides guidelines for the installation and placement of welded wire fabric in concrete construction. It outlines the requirements for lap splicing, overlap, and edge distances to ensure proper bonding and alignment of the fabric within the concrete.

Furthermore, the CSA G30.5-M1983 (R1998) standard includes testing and inspection procedures to assess the quality and compliance of welded wire fabric. It specifies the methods for conducting physical and mechanical tests, such as tensile strength, elongation, and weld shear strength, to verify the fabric's performance capabilities.
