BauMeshtm Confinement Reinforcement-1992 NOVA Award Winner |
|

|
Year: |
1992 |

Description: |
BauMeshtm Confinement Reinforcement uses welded wire rods
to replace conventional reinforcing ties and stirrups. It is made of cold
drawn smooth wire that is cut and placed into jigs where it is fuse welded.
Jigs can be set up to provide any desired configuration of the wires. Major
reinforcing bars are more accurately placed and more uniformly supported than
if conventional ties are used. This results in reliable ductile performance
of the concrete elements which is of importance in seismic areas. BauMeshtm
eliminates the hooks and rod extensions needed for conventional ties, thus
reducing congestion of the reinforcing and easing the placement of the
concrete. BauMeshtm requires less steel than conventional tie systems and
reduces labor and costs. |
