I am working on a project that the record plans show "316-28 WWM" for a 6" thick slab reinforcement. I assume it is probably a stainless steel wire mesh. Does anybody know how I could get the design info for it?
Thanks
I'll throw in for SS, single wire, triangular mesh weighing 28 lb/ 100 sf per page four of this. Record my confidence level as 55%. What's the date on the drawings?
I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.
Thanks. I actually visited that website and looked at the table for that period (1901-1910') but missed the weight column. I don't have the entire drawing. Only in bits and pieces. I figure the building must be about 90+/- years so what you referenced would make sense. Thanks again.
I first thought 316 = Stainless Steel, but your era is all wrong for that and now believe my thought was an anachronism.
I vote for 316 being a mislead for our modern mind, and not anything "particular" in a building of this age. The 316 has something to do with physical dimensions and properties, not a type of steel.
Nicely done Ingenuity. OP will get much more capacity out of that. I'd love to know what 316 actually means in this context, if indeed it has a physical meaning.

Curious - for your project framing (located in NY I assume), was the WWR profiled/draped over the spans to act as both TOP and BTM one-way slab reinforcing?
