The slab in Problem 56 is reinforced with wire mesh. Determine the number of rolls of wire mesh needed for the slab. There are 750 square feet of wire mesh per roll. Add 11 percent for lap and waste.

What will be an ideal response?


From Problem 56, the area of the slab is 1,050 sf.

Rolls of mesh required = 1,050 sf / 750 sf per roll = 1.4 rolls

Add for waste and lap.

Rolls of mesh required = 1.4 rolls × 1.11 = 1.6 rolls – Order 2 rolls
