10mm A393 High Tensile Steel Reinforcement Mesh Sheet 2000mm x 3600mm

A393 sheets are an incredibly strong mesh most commonly utilised in heavy-duty industrial concrete walls and floor slabs. 

These sheets are widely used in the construction industry to provide concrete structures with increased tensile strength against lateral force. Their utilisation serves to improve the overall strength and rigidity of a structure. 

A393 sheets feature 10mm wires spaced at 200mm intervals, making them ideal for structures that feature a depth of 200m or more.

A393 Reinforcing Steel Mesh Sheet Applications

A393 mesh is the go-to material for heavy industrial concreting. 

It can be used to reinforce walls and floors that are at least 200mm in thickness or depth.

We recommend A393 for use in the following applications: 

• Heavy duty concrete slabs for roadways and car parks 
• Walls and slabs in concrete flooring

The Benefits Of Reinforcing Concrete With A393 Mesh

While a concrete slab or wall is durable for the most part and will withstand compression force, it is also prone to cracking from load bending tensile force.

For this reason, implementing reinforcement measures when laying concrete is imperative in high-stress environments.

Let's take a look at a few key reasons why reinforcing concrete is advantageous:

• It minimises maintenance requirements - Reinforcement ensures a structure stands the test of time
• Helps reduce the likelihood of cracking and structural damage 
• Ensures loads are distributed in a uniform manner 
• Steel and concrete have a similar response to temperature fluctuations, this material union, therefore, minimises internal stress within a structure

How Does Reinforcing Steel Mesh Work To Strengthen Concrete?

Reinforcing steel mesh is embedded within freshly poured concrete during the casting process. As the concrete dries and solidifies it marries with the mesh, creating a composite material - a unity which allows for the transference of stress between the two elements.

The contours on the steel bars facilitate a solid bond between the concrete and the metal, resulting in a singular structural unit; this enables the concrete to tackle compressive stresses while the ductile nature of steel mesh works to withstand tensile stresses.

The 3 Main Types of Stresses In Construction

• Tensile (pulling apart) 
• Compressive (pushing together) 
• Shear (sliding stress of a parallel cross-section material)
