Abstract
An alternative reinforcement system, Welded mesh is
proposed to perform the function of transverse steel in
Reinforced Concrete Beams. Welded mesh is made from
cold drawn steel wires arranged in two orthogonal
directions and is prefabricated in a production line.
Welded mesh reinforcement eliminates some of the
detailing problems inherent in traditional rebar in the
Reinforced Concrete Construction resulting in easier and
faster construction, and better economy and quality
control In this present experimental work on the behavior
of Rectangular concrete beams with Shear reinforcement
by Welded mesh was carried out. One Control beam with
conventional reinforcement with five other beams with
varies welded mesh were cast and tested under two point
loading. The results were used to study the flexural
behavior. It is obtained that the beam with continuous
weld mesh and longitudinal bar given the maximum load
carrying capacity.
