EPD: Steel reinforcement wire mesh, 7850kg/m3, scrap - 100%, Wire Mesh Reinforcement Steel (Norsk Stal)

Product description: The product studied is pre-welded steel wire mesh, often called welded wire mesh, welded wire fabric, wire mesh reinforcement or mesh reinforcement (Norwegian: armeringsnett). Wire mesh is a common application of reinforcement steel, where prefabricated welded steel bars forms a reinforcing mesh that supports the concrete slab. Reinforcement bars (rebar, Norwegian: armeringsjern) are steel rods that are used as a tension device in concrete reinforcement. The bars may have protruding features and indentations to better bond with the concrete, commonly in the form of ribs. When embedded into concrete, the steel is able to alleviate the tension that is imposed on the concrete by distributing the tension evenly over a large area, and typical applications are in the construction of buildings and civil structures. Technical data: Steel products may contain many types of alloys, depending on the intended performance characteristic of the steel product. For reinforcement steel, a typical material composition is given the table below. Scrap content is reported to be 100%
