Welded Wire Reinforcement Deformation Requirements
Date: October 2022
ASTM A1064 / A1064M – 18a Standard Specification for Carbon-Steel Wire and Welded Wire Reinforcement, Plain and Deformed, for Concrete defines all physical and mechanical properties required for welded wire reinforcement used to reinforce concrete structures. For welded wire reinforcement comprised of deformed wires, there are strict geometric criteria outlined therein to ensure that deformed wire surfaces are able to provide a reliable means of developing bond strength and anchorage within the surrounding hardened concrete.
This month’s Technical Blog highlights these deformation requirements, with italicized excerpts from ASTM A1064 and accompanying WRI illustrations and figures.
