1、Designation: A184/A184M 06 (Reapproved 2011)Standard Specification forWelded Deformed Steel Bar Mats for ConcreteReinforcement1This standard is issued under the fixed designation A184/A184M; the number immediately following the designation indicates the yearof original adoption or, in the case of re
2、vision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1. Scope1.1 This specificatio
3、n covers material in mat (or sheet) formfabricated from deformed steel bars to be used for thereinforcement of concrete. Mats consist of two layers of barsthat are assembled at right angles to each other. Mats areassembled by welding at the intersections.1.2 This specification is applicable for orde
4、rs in eitherinch-pound units (as Specification A184) or SI units (asSpecification A184M).1.3 The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI unitsare to be regarded as standard. Within the text, the SI units areshown in brackets. The values stated in each system are notexact equivalents; therefor
5、e, each system must be used inde-pendently of the other. Combining values from the two systemsmay result in nonconformance with this specification.2.

17、alent levels above 0.55 %, in order toprevent cracking in the weld area.6. Mechanical Properties6.1 Mats shall be capable of withstanding a static load of150 lbf 670 N exerted perpendicular to the plane of the mattending to separate the bars with no apparent loosening whenapplied to one intersection
18、 of the connected bars.6.2 Number of Tests:6.2.1 One sample consisting of not less than two connec-tions on the same transverse member shall be tested forconformance with the provisions of 5.1.1.3 and 6.1 from each75 000 ft27000 m2 of mats or fraction thereof.6.3 Test Methods:6.3.1 Tension test spec
19、imens for determining conformancewith 5.1.1.3 shall have a welded joint located approximately atthe center of the bar being tested, and the cross bar shall extendapproximately 1 in. 25 mm beyond each side. All unit stressdeterminations shall be based on the nominal area calculatedusing the nominal d
20、iameter specified.6.3.2 Tests of connections against separation shall be per-formed on an assembled mat by placing blocks under adeformed bar in the upper layer and applying the prescribedload upon the bar in the lower layer.7. Size, Dimensions, and Tolerances7.1 Size and Spacing DimensionsThe sizes
21、, spacings,dimensions, and arrangement of the bar mats shall conform tothe design specified by the purchaser. Bars shall extend beyondexterior intersections a distance of not less than 1 in. 25 mm.The spacing of bars shall average that specified in the design,and the space between individual bars sh
22、all not vary more than14 in. 6 mm from that specified.7.2 Width and Length TolerancesThe overall length orwidth of the mats shall not be more than 1 in. 25 mm greateror less than the specified dimension.8. Finish and Surface Condition8.1 The finished mats shall be free of injurious defects inmateria
