| (54) | Prefabricated mesh for structural members |
| (57) It proves to be particularly suitable for the reinforcement of hollow-slab structural
members, and its characteristics are centred on the fact that all the carrying bars
(1) which contribute to it are oriented in the same direction, in fact in the longitudinal
direction, being equally spaced appropriately with the assistance of transverse rods
(2) of much reduced thickness and very widely spaced from each other, these rods (2)
having no carrying function but simply constituting connecting links between the carrying
bars (1) in order to form a mesh panel (3) whose width is limited by the transport
standards (2.20 metres), while its length may reach as much as 12.00 metres. These meshes are coupled laterally with no overlap being required in that direction, and when a bidirectional reinforcement is needed for the structural member above a first layer of panels or meshes, a second layer is formed in which the carrying bars (1) are perpendicular to the carrying bars of the first layer. |
