The document outlines specifications, codes, and standards related to reinforced concrete, including wire designations and properties established by the Wire Reinforcing Institute. It details the classification of wire types and their cross-sectional areas, as well as the styles of welded-wire fabric commonly used. Additionally, it mentions the ASTM's role in maintaining quality specifications and the American Concrete Institute's publications for reinforced concrete requirements and guidelines.

Specifications, Codes, and Standards 12-3 tA 8 th @ hth oe ey ok UE TS ® ® of J (ning vn showing sebnang dea Fig. 1a Typical bar bends. (From Ref 2.) such as 6 X 8-W8.0 x W4.0, where the first number gives the spacing in inches of the longitudinal wires and the second number gives the spacing of the transverse wires in inches. The first letter-number combination gives the type and area of the longitudinal wire; the second combination, the information on the transverse wire. The Wire Rein- forcing Institute (WRI) established the letter-number designation which relates to the cross-sectional area of the wire. The letter W designates smooth wire and the letter D describes deformed wire. The number following the letters W or D is the cross-sectional area of the wire in hundredths of a square inch. A W8.0 wire is a smooth wire with a cross-sectional area of 0.08 in*; a W4.0 wire has a cross-sectional area of 0.04 in®. There are three widely used styles of fabric, namely, 4, 6, and 10 gage, with the corresponding W number (for smooth fabric) of W4.0, W2.9, and W1.4. Commonly available styles of welded-wire fabric and their properties are given in Table 3, Because fabric may be made of drawn wire, and even high-strength or deformed wire, and has welded cross wires, such fabric is permitted certain higher stresses in code specifications. Some experimenting has been done with glass fibers, plastic threads, chopped wire, and similar reinforcements ‘3. Specifications, Codes, and Standards The ASTM maintains specifications for the qual- ity of all the items incorporated into reinforced concrete and for methods of mixing, and detailed methods for sampling, testing, and approving both the individual items and the finished concrete. The American Concrete Institute publishes Building Code Requirements for Rein- forced Concrete (ACI 318) and a large collection of guides and manuals, including the Detailing Manual (ACI 315) and the Manual of Inspection, SP-2.
