AASHTO M328 Welded Wire Reinforcement, Plain and Deformed, for Concrete Testing Services Provided by Eurolab

The testing of welded wire reinforcement (WWR) for concrete is governed by various international and national standards. The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) has developed the M328 standard, which specifies the requirements for WWR, plain and deformed, for concrete.

International Standards

  • ISO 6934:2013 - Welded wire reinforcement for concrete - Classification and designation
  • ASTM A1042/A1042M-14 - Standard Specification for Steel Reinforcement, Deformed Bars for Concrete, for Construction (Metric)
  • EN 10080:2005 - Metallic materials. Technical delivery conditions for steel castings
  • National Standards

  • TSE (Turkish Standards Institution) EN 10080:2005
  • ASTM A1042/A1042M-14 in Turkey
  • Standard Development Organizations and Their Role

    The development of standards is a collaborative effort between international and national standard development organizations. These organizations include:

  • ISO (International Organization for Standardization)
  • ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials)
  • EN (European Committee for Standardization)
  • These organizations work together to develop and maintain standards that ensure consistency, quality, and safety in the testing of WWR.

    Standard Evolution and Update
