In what’s become almost an annual rite of passage, concrete contractors at various industry conferences show me “war wounds” that have resulted from wire mesh and rebar (reinforcement bars).

Dosed at amounts equivalent to conventional reinforcement, these fibers are distributed three dimensionally throughout the concrete section. Can synthetic fibers compete “head-to-head” with steel?

Since 2015, Gramazio Kohler Research has been in the process of developing "Mesh Mould Metal," a project that studies the unification of concrete reinforcement and formwork into a single ...

Since the 1950s, architects have explored design possibilities with wire mesh and perforated metal panels in buildings. Until then, the technology had primarily been used for mundane construction ...

But the weight of the plant and the soil tended to stretch the concrete pots and break them. Why not embed an iron mesh in the concrete to strengthen it? Et voilà! Monier was soon using this ...

Concrete countertops weigh more than other countertop materials. They can come precast or poured in place and are often reinforced with rebar, fiber reinforcement and/or wire mesh. Avoid the ...

The carbon fiber is woven into a mesh, or as a composite material that mimics existing rebar structures. These two types of reinforcement can be combined in a composite to produce a concrete ...

Insteel manufactures and markets PC strand and welded wire reinforcement, including engineered structural mesh, concrete pipe reinforcement and standard welded wire reinforcement. Its products are ...
