Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Steel Wire Co: Handbook and Catalogue of Concrete Reinforcement, October, 1907 In presenting this revised edition of our Engineers' Handbook and Catalogue on Triangle Mesh Reinforcement for Concrete we have attempted to touch briefly not only the reinforcement for concrete but concrete itself. The data contained herein are the result of careful study by our engineering department, and also by some of the best known and accepted authorities. Many-paragraphs and chapters dealing with reinforced concrete are selected and reprinted by permission from text books, bulletins and other publications, with due mention of the source and authority in each instance. Tables giving the weights of fabric per square foot, number, sizes, spacing and areas of wires and longitudinal strands of Triangle Mesh Woven Wire Reinforcement are given on pages 110, 111 and 112, and tables of resisting moments, thicknesses of slabs, diagrams, etc., occur on pages 74 to 80 inclusive. By the use of Tables 1 to 12 inclusive (No. 1 being found on page 74), giving the resisting moments of reinforced concrete slabs, suitable fabric may be selected to use cither with or without bars for all kinds of loads and spans and conditions met with in the construction of buildings, bridges and reinforced concrete in general. In these tables we have assumed different allowable stresses in the steel, namely, 16,000, 18,000 and 20,000 pounds per square inch, depending on its elastic limit, and different proportions of cement, sand and stone in the concrete. We, however, recommend in general using a 1:2:4 mixture for floors or other structures subjected to high stresses. While we recommend the use of a fabric made with a steel having an ultimate strength of 85,000 pounds per square inch, wc can furnish it in any strength of steel desired. Triangle Mesh Woven Wire Reinforcement for Concrete is made with cither solid or stranded longitudinal members, properly spaced by means of diagonal or cross wires so arranged as to form a series of triangles between the longitudinal or tension members; the longitudinal members being invariably spaced 4 inches apart, the cross wires cither "2 inches or 4 inches, as desired, providing either a 2-inch or 4-inch mesh.
