Effectively Specifying Welded Wire Reinforcement
Date: April 2021
The design professional typically has two primary choices when it comes to specifying welded wire reinforcement (WWR). The Wire Reinforcement Institute refers to these choices as Direct or Pre-Approved.
In next month’s blog entry we will explore in greater detail the expanded role played by the WWR manufacturer’s detailer when a design professional elects to specify WWR as a Pre-Approved Equal.
For more information on WWR specification methodology, refer to the WRI Manual of Standard Practice and the WRI Welded Wire Reinforcement Design and Detailing Guide, both found at www.wirereinforcementinstitute.org
