Abstract

A reinforcement mesh that is formed from intersecting longitudinal and transverse wires, each intersect inward of the perimeter defining a node, and suitable for use in reinforcing concrete for roads, paths, driveways or building construction or the like, the mesh comprising spaced substantially parallel longitudinal wires and transverse wires with a diameter from about 2 to 3.85 mm, and a knotting wire present on each of at least a majority of nodes for attachment of the intersecting transverse and longitudinal wires. Preferably the longitudinal wires have an ultimate tensile strength greater than that of the transverse wires.
