Historical ASTM Standard For WWF

Historical ASTM Standard For WWF

Historical ASTM Standard For WWF

(OP)
Does any one have a PDF copy of historic versions of ASTM A82? Specifically from 1932, but any near-by date would be helpful.

Also, does anyone have any CSRI detailing guides from the 30's or 40's scanned in?

I am assessing a 1940s one way concrete slab (with welded wire reinforcing draped over non-composite steel beams cast integral with the slab) and any historical information that people have available would be helpful.

Generally speaking, when the WWF was draped over the steel beams, were these slabs designed as multi-span continuous members? Or was the WWF just draped over the beams for construction purposes and did they behave like simple spans.

RE: Historical ASTM Standard For WWF

Oldest I have access to is 1962. Have you contacted the subcommittee chair who is over that standard? Looks like it is under the jurisdiction of subcommittee A01.05 - if you contact the ASTM staff manager, they can give you the chair's email. http://www.astm.org/COMMITTEE/A01.htm

MJB315 - The Wire Reinforcement Institute has historical information on WWF that includes certain steel properties from ASTM A82-34 (the 1934 edition). Here is the link:

Concerning slab reinforcement, I know that the Triangle Mesh product was basically a type of WWF and was considered continuous reinforcement. From this, I would expect that other types of WWF were viewed the same. There is some information on both Triangle Mesh and welded fabrics on pages 415 - 417 of the 1934 Carnegie Pocket Companion. You can download it from this page of my website:

Thanks for the feedback-- it was helpful! Sliderule, your database is a great resource, needless to say.

During my searching, I found some very helpful documents on the American Preservation Technology Institute's website. Talk about some good stuff. Follow some of the links below and check out what they have. Worry not, this will not lead you to virus city.

And if you think that is what someone would say to lead to you said city, just go to the main website below, scroll near the bottom, and find your way there.
