Cross-Sectional Area of ARC Mesh

Notes:

Trench mesh is normally specified by the number of wires used in either the top and/or bottom of the footing so that cross-sectional areas of cross wires are not relevant. Common trench mesh strip widths are 200 mm (3 wires), 300 mm (4 wires), and 400 mm (5 wires).The steel grade for all meshes is D500L.

Mesh configurations are not limited to the standard meshes shown above. Mesh main wire spacings are the most critical factor for special meshes, and detailers should check with ARC before finalising a design using any fabric not included in the list of standard meshes.

Meshes SL 63 and SL 53 have an internal mesh size of 300 mm x 300 mm. The sheet size is 6 m long by 2.3 m wide. The 100 mm closer wire spacings on the side reduce the minimum side lap to 100 mm, rather than 300 mm. They are not available in every state.

Although the meshes listed above are generally available ex-stock, we recommend that designers and users check with their local ARC office if they have any questions about properties or availability.
