    Mccormac C01.Tex V2 - January 9, 2013 2:57 P.M.: Headed Deformed Reinforcing Bar

    Uploaded by

    This document discusses different types of reinforcing materials used in concrete construction, including reinforcing bars, welded wire fabric, and headed steel bars. It provides details on bar sizes and lengths available for reinforcing bars. Welded wire fabric is described as being used for slabs, pavements and other areas with limited space. Tables in an appendix provide specifications for common welded wire fabrics. Headed steel bars were added to building codes in 2008 as an alternative to straight or hooked bars for congested areas like beam-column intersections.

    to areas, diameters, and weights of reinforcing bars. Although #14 and #18 bars are shown in
    this table, the designer should check his or her suppliers to see if they have these very large
    sizes in stock. Reinforcing bars may be purchased in lengths up to 60 ft. Longer bars have to
    be specially ordered. In general, longer bars are too flexible and difficult to handle.
    Welded wire fabric is also frequently used for reinforcing slabs, pavements, and shells,
    and places where there is normally not sufficient room for providing the necessary concrete
    cover required for regular reinforcing bars. The mesh is made of cold-drawn wires running
    in both directions and welded together at the points of intersection. The sizes and spacings
    of the wire may be the same in both directions or may be different, depending on design
    requirements. Wire mesh is easily placed and has excellent bond with the concrete, and the
    spacing of the wires is well controlled.
    Table A.3(A) in Appendix A provides information concerning certain styles of welded
    wire fabric that have been recommended by the Wire Reinforcement Institute as common
    stock styles (normally carried in stock at the mills or at warehousing points and, thus, usually
    immediately available). Table A.3(B) provides detailed information about diameters, areas,
    weights, and spacings of quite a few wire sizes normally used to manufacture welded wire
    fabric. Smooth and deformed wire fabric is made from wires whose diameters range from
    0.134 in. to 0.628 in. for plain wire and from 0.225 in. to 0.628 in. for deformed wires.
    Smooth wire is denoted by the letter W followed by a number that equals the cross-
    sectional area of the wire in hundredths of a square inch. Deformed wire is denoted by the
    letter D followed by a number giving the area. For instance, a D4 wire is a deformed wire
    with a cross-sectional area equal to 0.04 in.2 Smooth wire fabric is actually included within
    the ACI Code’s definition of deformed reinforcement because of its mechanical bonding to the
    concrete caused by the wire intersections. Wire fabric that actually has deformations on the
    wire surfaces bonds even more to the concrete because of the deformations as well as the wire
    intersections. According to the code, deformed wire is not permitted to be larger than D31 or
    smaller than D4.
    Headed Steel Bars for Concrete Reinforcement (ASTM A970/970M) were added to
    the ACI 318 Code in 2008. Headed bars can be used instead of straight or hooked bars,
    with considerably less congestion in crowded areas such as beam–column intersections. The
    specification covers plain and deformed bars cut to lengths and having heads either forged or
    welded to one or both ends. Alternatively, heads may be connected to the bars by internal
    threads in the head mating to threads on the bar end or by a separate threaded nut to secure the
    head to the bar. Heads are forge formed, machined from bar stock, or cut from plate. Figure 1.3
    illustrates a headed bar detail. The International Code Council has published acceptance criteria
    for headed ends of concrete reinforcement (ACC 347).
