wwm strength
(OP)
Hi all, I posted this on the bonding and welding forum with not too many responses,
The cross joint of structural mesh shows one wire embedding into the transverse one which is the result of the electrical resistance welding, right?
I'm just wondering if there should be any concern on the reduced cross section due to this fusion. The steel on one direction will work as flexural reinforcement on tension and compression sides, and the steel in the other direction will work as temperature reinforcement.
I attached a picture for clarity.

If you are concerned then you could make sure that such a weld meets the fabrication requirements in the specification for the fabrication of WWM, beyond that is up to you.

Is this designated, low carbon weldable rebar? If so, that may change my answer some.
The greatest trick that bond stress ever pulled was convincing the world it didn't exist.

As shown in the above picture, welded wire can and does come in some pretty large sizes. I've specified some pretty hefty stuff for precast construction before.

It is actually wwm,I took the picture myself.
One thing I noticed on the pic TME posted is no embedment of one bar into the other, like it was spot welded?
