Design Aids For Structural Welded Wire Reinforcement (includes WWR/Rebar Comparison Tables) INTRODUCTION
SPECIFICATIONS
This Tech Fact* provides basic information on coldworked wire and welded wire reinforcement (WWR) to assist in the design and detailing of WWR systems for concrete structures. Tables are included to compare steel areas for reinforcement with a minimum yield strength of 60,000 psi and three higher minimum yield strengths, i.e., 70,000, 75,000 and 80,000 psi, for WWR. Tables 3-6 consider steel wire sizes ranging from W1.4 (1/8”φ to W or D 45 (3/4”φ).
The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) publishes specifications for the wire used to manufacture reinforcement and for both plain and deformed WWR. The Canadian Standards (CSA) are withdrawn and replaced with applicable ASTM standards for use in Canada. The appropriate titles and numbers are given in Table 1. These are considered to be the governing specifications for both wire and WWR. Federal, State and local governmental agencies have special specifications that will control. The AASHTO specification numbers are a prime example of this. They are also stated in Table 1. Table 2 has minimum strength properties and weld shear test values. See the section on Minimum Yield Strengths for specific references to high strength reinforcement.
The American Concrete Institute’s (ACI) publication ACI 318, Building Requirements for Structural Concrete defines deformed reinforcement for structural concrete in Section 2.2. The section states that welded plain wire reinforcement, welded deformed wire reinforcement and deformed wire are defined as deformed reinforcement. For further definition and acceptance for the use of high strength reinforcement see ACI 318, Chapter 3.

MINIMUM YIELD STRENGTHS The yield strength values shown in Table 2 are ASTM requirements for minimum yield strengths measured at a strain of 0.5% of gage length. The ACI 318 Structural Building Code, Chapter 3, states that yield strength values greater than 60,000 psi to 80,000 psi may be used, provided they are measured at a strain of 0.35% of gage length. The ACI strain requirements are now covered in supplements specified by ASTM. Also, the ACI 318 Building Code limits the minimum design yield strength of reinforcement to 80,000 psi (Chapter 9, 9.4), (Chapter 11, 11.4.2).
WELD SHEAR STRENGTH AND CONCRETE BOND Plain WWR develops bond with the concrete through the positive mechanical anchorage at each welded intersection of wires. Deformed WWR utilizes wire deformations along with the welded intersections for bond and anchorage. The ASTM requirements for weld shear strength at the wire intersections are shown in Table 2. ASTM specifies a size differential for wires being welded together to assure adequate weld shear strength. For welded wire reinforcement, plain and deformed, the smaller wire must have an area of 40 percent or more of the area of the larger wire.
EXAMPLE: (Showing Use of Comparison Tables 3-6) Select the styles of WWR with minimum yield strength, fy = 80,000 psi to be used in lieu of fy = 60,000 psi (Grade 60) reinforcing bars. The slab is for a one-way slab, 6 inches thick. The positive moment reinforcement is #4 bars @ 10” c/c. (As = .24 in2) The temperature reinforcement is #4 bars @ 18” c/c. (As = .133 in2) The negative moment reinforcement is #5 bars @ 12” c/c. (As = .31 in2) Use Table 6 - Reinforcing Bar: fy = 60,000 psi, Welded Wire Reinforcement: fy = 80,000 psi Begin with 6 in. by 6 in. WWR spacing and adjust as necessary.
POSITIVE MOMENT REINFORCEMENT #4 bars @ 10 in. c.c. - select W9 wire @ 6 in. As = .20 x 12 x 60 2 = 0.09 in2 10 80
TEMPERATURE REINFORCEMENT #4 bars @ 18 in. c.c. - select W5 wire @ 6 in. As = .20 x 12 x 60 2 = 0.05 in2 18 80
Since W5 wire is greater than 40% of W9 wire, the minimum wire size requirement by ASTM is satisfied. Reviewing Table 6 (WWR with fy =80,000 psi) check the amount of temperature reinforcement required, compared to #4 @ 18” (fy =60,000 psi). For a 6 inch slab, W5 wire @ 6 in. furnishes the desired steel area. The WWR style for the bottom reinforcement (positive moment) is then: 6 x 6 - W9 x W5.
NEGATIVE MOMENT REINFORCEMENT
#5 bars @ 12 in. c.c. - select W11.6 wire @ 6 in.
REMARKS:
As = .31 x 60 2 = .116 in2 80
When the WWR style is required to furnish tension reinforcement in only one direction, the cross-wire should be the smallest size permitted at the maximum spacing permitted. ASTM specifies the minimum size as noted above. The maximum spacing is 3 times the slab thickness or 18” as specified in ACI 318, Chapter 7. Cross-wire: 40% of W11.6 = W5 wire @ 12 in. (ASTM A185, Chapter 7). Use W5 wire @ 12 in. for efficiency, since it is the same size used in the positive moment reinforcement. The WWR style for the top reinforcement (negative moment) is then: 6 x 12 - W11.6 x W5.
NOTES FOR TABLES 3-6
1. Weights per 100 square feet are for one direction only. Double the weight for the same reinforcing in the other direction, or add the appropriate weight for a different pattern in the other direction. 2. Weights per 100 square feet are theoretical and are intended for estimating purposes only. Contact the WWR producers for more specific project requirements. 3. W (plain) or D (deformed) are used as prefixes for wire sizes (ex: W8, D10). ACI 318 requires the minimum D-deformed wire to be D4 for structural applications. Sheets of WWR can be both D and W mixed. (ACI 318, Chapter 12, 12.7.4). 4. In accordance with ACI 318, the maximum spacing permitted for plain WWR (W) is 12 inches, and the maximum spacing for deformed welded wire reinforcement (D) is 16 inches. The 18-inch spacing in the tables is only recommended for use in slab on grade applications, which are not governed by ACI 318. WRI provides the material herein as a matter of information and therefore, disclaims any and all responsibility for application of the stated principles or the accuracy of the data other than material developed by the institute.
