AASHTO M 55M/M 55-09

1. SCOPE

1.1. This specification covers welded wire reinforcement to be used for the reinforcement of concrete.
Note 1--Welded wire for concrete reinforcement has been described by various terms: weldedwire fabric, WWF, fabric, and mesh. The wire reinforcement industry prefers the term weldedwire reinforcement (WWR) as being more representative of the range of products beingmanufactured. Therefore, the term welded wire fabric has been replaced with the term weldedwire reinforcement in this specification and in related specifications.

1.2. This specification is applicable for orders in either SI units (M 55M) or in inch-pound units(M 55). SI units and inch-pound units are not necessarily equivalent. Inch-pound units are shownin brackets in the text for clarity but they are the applicable values when the material is orderedto M 55. The values stated in each system are not exact equivalents; therefore, each system mustbe used independently of the other. Combining values may result in nonconformance with thespecification.
