FOREWORD
The use of prefabricated reinforcement is an efficient and cost-effective option for projects having to
use in-situ construction, particularly in respect of minimising wastage and overcoming site constraints. It is
especially beneficial to Singapore's construction industry which is acutely short of skilled workers. Together
with other buildable features, it will help to raise construction productivity, improve quality and reduce our
heavy reliance on foreign workers.
This handbook is another effort by the industry to help engineers increase the buildability of their
designs. It identifies the areas where prefabricated reinforcement can be used and promotes the use of
standardised meshes and cages. The Handbook helps engineers by providing necessary design tables,
construction details where relevant and annotations of prefabricated reinforcement. Some design examples
are also provided.
I wish to thank members of the Steering Committee for their valuable feedback to this Handbook. I
also wish to record my appreciation to TEG Engineering Consultants, Ho & Chang Consultants, B.R.C.

INTRODUCTION
OBJECTIVE
The objective of this Handbook is to promote the wider use of prefabricated reinforcement (welded
wire fabric and prefabricated cages) by providing useful guidelines to engineers in the design of structural
elements using such reinforcement. The wider use of prefabricated reinforcement will raise productivity,
reduce site labour and shorten construction time.
This Handbook contains tables of welded wire fabric and prefabricated cages. Design of reinforcement
is based on BS8110: Structural Use of Concrete: Part 1: 1985, including subsequent revisions up to 1993.
Prefabricated reinforcement can be used in slabs, columns, beams, walls, drains and pilecaps. Detailing of
reinforcement in two-dimensional and isometric views and guidelines on installation are also provided.
WELDED WIRE FABRIC (WWF)
Welded Wire Fabric is manufactured using automatic welding machines, where parallel series of
high strength cold drawn reinforcing wires are welded together in a square or rectangular grid . It uses
electrical resistance welding process to fuse the intersecting wires into a homogeneous section and fix a ll
wires in their proper position. Plain wires, deformed wires or a combination of both may be used in welded
wire fabric .
In Singapore, WWF are manufactured in accordance to Singapore Standards SS 32: Welded Steel
Fabric for the Reinforcement of Concrete. The characteristic yield strength of WWF is 485 N/mm 2 . Most of
the local manufacturers have their WWF certified to the Singapore Quality Mark Scheme ensuring consistent
quality of the product. However, engineers may also obtain a copy of test certificates from the supplier to
ensure that the strength of the wire meets the requirements.
"A" Series: Square fabrics with wires at 200 mm spacing in both directions.
"B" Series: Rectangular fabrics with main w ire spacing of 100 mm and cross
"D" Series: Square fabric with wires at 100 mm spacing in both directions.
" E" Series: Square fabric w ith wires at 150 mm spacing in both directions.
A, D and E fabrics series have equal sizes of wire and spacing in both directions. They are used
where the structures they reinforced have to be equally strong in both directions, therefore providing similar
areas of steel. B series fabrics are generally used in structures where the principal steel is in one direction,
and the steel in the other direction is the minimum required by BS 8110. Standard sheet sizes of 6 m (length)
by 2.4 m (width) are usually available ex-stock. Cut-to-size sheets are also readily ava ilable from the supplier
"Engineered" fabric series and "Designer" fabric series may also be fabricated by varying the diameter,
spacing and position of the wire. In this Handbook, a new series of Designer fabric is introduced to increase
the choices of WWF available. Engineers may also specify their own Designer Fabric or Engineered fabric

PREFABRICATED CAGES
Prefabricated reinforcement improves site productivity and shortens construction time. Off-site
fabrication, in the controlled environment of a factory, has the benefit of much higher productivity, better
quality control and far less wastage of material. The contractor avoids keeping large quantity of material on
site, minimises the tedious tasks of manual cutting, bending, laying and fixing of steel bars in the traditional
manner.
WWF as described earlier is the most common prefabricated reinforcement used. WWF can be
made from different types of reinforcement steel and is available up to the size of 16 mm diameter, e.g.
main wire Tempcore bar Tl6 and cross wire cold drawn wire H 10.
WWF in the form of beam link cages or column link cages is ideal for forming a quick skeleton of
reinforcement onto which the main reinforcement can be secured. This form of cages is widely used in HDB
Apart from the flat sheets and bent fabric where the intersections are resistance welded, flat, bent or
3-dimensional prefabricated reinforcement can also be formed using a mig welder to spot weld the
reinforcement bars and/or WWF cages together. These assemblies are rigid enough for transport to site
without damage and they can be lifted and dropped into the formwork ready to be concreted . With a mig
welder it is possible to produce prefabricated reinforcement with diameters larger than 16 mm. This Handbook
provides information on the use of prefabricated column cages, beam cages, pile caps and other structural
elements. Engineers should check with the manufacturer for more information on design considerations,

GUIDE TO SECTIONS
The following Sections feature design guidelines and examples using prefabricated reinforcement
for slabs, beams, columns, walls, pilecaps and other applications. Design assumptions as well as relevant
New annotations such as S2Tl0-200 (beam link cage), 3LH10-175 (column close link cage),
WA 125-A 10 (wall type), 1RP150 (single pile type for precast reinforced concrete driven pile) and 5BP600
(5 pilegroup type for bored pile) have been introduced in an attempt to standardise the specifications of

REINFORCEMENT
SECTION ONE: SLAB REINFORCEMENT
This Section enables engineer to select welded wire fabric (WWF) from design tables based on the design considerations
shown below for one-way and two-way continuous slabs.
TABLE 'A'
ws 8.6 'SAl'
w s 8.6 'SA7'
w s 8.6 'SA13'
6. Mesh provided in Table 'SA 1' to Table 'SA 18' are designed based on the longest slab span dimension, Lx and
highest end of ultimate design load category, W of the Table 'A' above.
7. Engineer shall consider the continuity effect if adjacent slab panels are of different thickness and/or having
drop affecting the design effective depth .
8. Extra allowance of reinforcement areas i.e. 50mm has been provided to the designed required steel area
when selecting the mesh.

1.2 Examples On Slab Design
EXAMPLE (1)
Design Data :
Slab sizes: ly= 6.5 m, lx = 3.0 m.
1. Slab type: Two Adjacent Edges Discontinuous.
2. Design live load, ll = 3.0 kN/m 2
Superimposed Dead load, SDL = 2.7 kN/m 2
I
Design Method:
Step l: For lx= 3.0 m ==> Table 'SA 1' to Table 'SA6'
Step 2: Calculate the ultimate design load (excluding slab self-weight),
w = ( 1.4 X SDL) + ( 1.6 X ll) = ( 1.4 X 2.7) + ( 1.6 X 3.0)
= 8.58 kN/m 2
W < 8.6 kN/m 2 ==>go to Table 'SA 1'
Step 3: Span Ratio= ly/lx = 6.5/ 3.0 = 2.17 > 2.0 ==>One-Way Slab==> Column "9"
Slab Panel Type : Two Adjacent Edges Discontinuous ==> Row "4"
RESULT==> 125 mm thick slab with
WWF B8 (Top Mesh - lx Direction), WWF A7 (Top Mesh - ly Direction ) and
WWF B6 (Bottom Mesh) satisfying deflection, shear a nd moment criteria.
(Note: If engineer prefers other slab thickness to be used, the design has to be extended to Step 4.)
Step 4: Work out the self-weight difference between the sla b thickness preferred and one recomme nded in the
Design Table 'SA 1'.
For instance, slab thickness 150 mm is preferred.
• New additional weight due to increase in slab thickness
= (0.15- 0.125) x 24 = 0.6 kN/m 2
• New ultimate design load = (1.4 x 0.6 + 8.58) = 9.42 kN/m 2 ==>go to Table 'SA2 '
• Repeat Step 3=> read Column "9" & Row "4"
• RESULT==> 125 mm thick slab with
WWF B8 (Top Mesh - lx Direction), WWF B6 (Top Mesh- ly Direction) and
WWF B8 (Bottom Mesh) satisfying deflection, shear and moment criteria.
Therefore, engineer can use the preferred slab thickness 150 mm with the above designed mesh.
EXAMPLE (2) :
Design Data:
1. Slab Sizes: ly = 6.0 m, lx = 4.0 m.
2. Slab Type: Interior Panel.
3. Design live load, ll = 6.0 kN/m 2
Superimposed Dead load, SOL= 5.0 kN/ m2
Design Method:
+
Step l: For lx = 4.0 m=> Table 'SA 13 ' to Table 'SA 18'
Step 2: Calculate the ultimate design load (excluding slab self-weight),
w = (1.4 X SOL) + ( 1.6 X ll) = ( 1.4 X 5.0) + ( 1.6 X 6.0)
= 16.6 kN/m 2
15.8 kN/m 2 < W.:::. 23.8 kN/m 2 ~go to Table 'SA 16'
Step 3: Span Ratio= ly/lx = 6/4 = 1.5 < 2.0 ~Two-Way Slab~ Column "6"
Slab Type: Interior Panel ~ Row "1"
• RESULT ~ 175 mm thick slab with
WWF DA 10/ 10 (Top Mesh- lx Direction), WWF B8 (Top Mesh - ly Direction) and
WWF DE9/8 (Bottom Mesh) satisfying deflection, shear and moment criteria.
Step 4: Slab thickness 225 mm is preferred.
• New additional weight due to increase in slab thickness
= (0.225- 0.175) x 24 = 1.2 kN/m 2
• 'New' ultimate design load = (1.4 x 1.2 + 16.6 ) = 18.28 kN/ m2 ==>go to Table 'SA 16'
• RESULT ~ 225 mm thick slab with
WWF OA 10/ 10 (Top Mesh - lx Direction), WWF B8 (Top Mesh - ly Di rection ) and
WWF DE9 / 8 (Bottom Mesh) satisfying deflection, shear and moment criteria.

(2) Digit " 1" between alphabets " S" and "R" in Example ( 1) above is omitted and is not required w hen specifying 1 number link
per beam cross-section.
3. Legends :- (a) Prefix ' S' denotes open link cage (e.g . .S.R, .S.T, .S.D, .S.H)
(b) Prefix 'L' denotes close link cage (e.g. lR, lT, lD, lH)
(c) R' denotes links using Plan Mild Steel Bar (fy. = 250 N/ mm 2 )
(d) T' denotes links using Tempcore Deformed Bar (fyv = 460 N/mm 2 )
(e) D' denotes links using Deformed Hard Drawn Wire (fyv = 485 N / mm 2 )
(f) H' denotes links using Plain Hard Drawn Wire (fyv = 485 N/ mm 2 )
4. Engineer shall avoid specifying link cage using Plain Mild Steel Bar, ' R' and Plain Hard Drawn Wire, ' H' to
avoid confusion when applying.
5. Engineer shall note and design accordingly the link cage when beam is subjected to torsion.
6. Conversion table of beam link cage for Plain Mild Steel Bar to other type of link material is shown in the
Appendix.
7. When adopting for prefabricated reinforcement bars cage, engineer shall consider and liaise with fabricators,
if necessary, to verify the feasible cage size, lapping and lifting requirements.

SECTION THREE : COLUMN REINFORCEMENT
This Section enables engineer to specify from the design tables, column link cage for various sizes of column using
T 13 and T 16 as the main vertical reinforcement bars. T 16 diameter bar is the maximum bar size which is currently
available by machine fabrication . Larger bar size can be introduced by manual fabrication .
The link cage can also be used independently without the main reinforcement bars if so desired .
To achieve higher column capacity, engineer may install additional vertical reinforcement bars to the cage and/or
use higher grades of concrete.
1. Annotation for column reference number with its specific steel reinforcement cage are shown in the following
examples.
Example (2) : CA35/ 60-T6 from Column Design Table 'CA24', where,
CA - Denotes rectangular reinforced concrete column designed based on Grade 30 concrete
35/ 60 -Denotes 350mm x 600mm reinforced concrete rectangular column
T6 -Denotes specific main vertical reinforcement bars 14T16 with 1 number complete close link and 2 numbers "C" link
indicated as 3 LR8-175 are used
2. The derivation of Design Ultimate Vertical Load, N (in kN) in the design tables is in accordance to Clause
(3 .8 .4 .4) in BS 8110 : Part 1: 1985 : Section Three for short braced column supporting an approximately
symmetrical arrangement of beams, and assumed to be pinned at each floor. Engineer shall exercise his own
judgement when using the design tables such as when bending or unbraced condition is to be taken into
consideration .

SECTION FOUR: WALL REINFORCEMENT
This Section enables engineer to specify from the design tables, a new range of WWF for various sizes of reinforced
concrete walls. Only 1Omm and 13mm diameter of bars with 150mm and 200mm spacing in either main, cross or
both directions of the welded wire fabric series are considered in the design.
Other mesh series if required may be used subject to the engineer's requirement.
To achieve high load capacity, engineer may install additional vertical reinforcement bars to the mesh and/ or use
higher grades of concrete.
1. Annotation for wall reference number with its specific mesh are shown in the following examples.
Example ( 1): WA 125-A 10 from Building Wall Design Table ' WA 1', where,
W - Denotes reinforced concrete wall
A -Denotes wall design ba sed on Grade 30 concrete
125 -Denotes 125mm thick reinforced concrete wall
A 10 - Denotes A 10 Standard WWF is used for both sides of wall
Example (2): WB300-DA 13d/ 10 from Building Wall Design Table ' WB5 ', where,
W - Denotes reinforced concrete wall
B - Denotes wall design based on Grade 35 concrete
300 - Denotes 300mm thick reinforced concrete wall
DA 13d/ 10 -Denotes DA 13d/ 10 Designer WWF is used for both sides bf wall
2. Nominal concrete cover of 25mm is used in the design unless otherwise specified by engineer.
3. Concrete characteristic strength of 30 N/mm 2 and 35 N/mm 2 are adopted in the Design Table 'WA 1' to
Table 'WAS' and Table 'WB 1' to Table 'WB8' respectively.
4. The derivation of Design Ultimate Vertical Load, N (in kN) in the design table is in accordance to Clause
(3.9.3 .6.1) in BS 8110: Part 1: 1985: Section Three for stocky braced reinforced wall supporting approximately
symmetrical arrangement of slabs and beams, and assumed to be pinned at each floor. Engineer shall exercise
his own judgement when using the design tables such as when bend ing or unbraced cond ition is to be taken
into consideration.
6. Steel/Concrete content (in kg/ m3 ) and its percentage are an estimated values without taking into account of
lapping zone.
7. Engineer shall consider and liaise with fabricators, whenever necessary, for any other available mesh, and to
verify the necessary lapping and lifting requirements.

SECTION FIVE : PILECAP REINFORCEMENT
This Section enables engineer to specify prefabricated reinforcement details for reinforced concrete pilecaps for
single pile to 5-pilegroup. The pilecaps include those on precast concrete driven piles and bored piles.
Design pile capacity is based on pile material strength. Engineer shall use his own discretion when soil parameters
governing the design of pile capacity. Engineer shall liaise with fabricators for feasible cage. When machine fabrication
is not possible for reinforcement bar above 16mm diameter or due to their bars arrangement, manual fabrication
could be adopted.
1. Annotation for pilegroup reference number with its specific type, size and number of piles are shown in the
following examples.
Example ( 1): 1 RP 150 from Pilecap Design Table ' RP 1', where,
1RP -Denotes single pile for precast reinforced concrete driven pile
150 - Denotes 150mm x 150mm precast reinforced concrete driven pile size
2. Pile working capacity based on material strength is used in the pilecap design .
3. Load factor 1.5 to pile working capacity is adopted in the pilecap design.
4. Piles spacings of 3.0 and 2.5 times are adopted for precast reinforced concrete driven pile and bored pile
respectively subject to engineer's requirement.
5. Pile penetration of 1OOmm and 125mm are used in the pilecap design for precast reinforced concrete driven
piles and bored piles respectively unless otherwise required by engineer.
6. Individual pile deviation from its true position is taken to be 75mm in the design .
7. Concrete covers to all sides and from pile cut-off level to nearer reinforcement are taken as 50mm unless
otherwise specified by engineer.
8. Steel reinforcement of f1, 460 N/mm 2 and concrete characteristic strength, feu, 35 N/mm 2 are adopted in the
design. The use of other grade of concrete and/or larger concrete covers are subjected to engineer's requirement
such as when severe exposure is to be met.
9. Provisional of 0.13% of concrete sectional area of pilecap for top layers of reinforcement and pile's reinforcement
anchorage length are subjected to Engineer's requirement.
10. Horizontal binder reinforcement is taken as 25% of the main reinforcement areas of pilecap.
11. Engineer shall carry out his own check to ensure design shear stress along column perimeter is not exceeding
0.8 ff:"u or 5 N/mm 2 , whichever the lesser. Recommended minimum critical column perimeter shown in the
design tables shall be taken as a guide.

SECTION SIX : OTHER APPLICATIONS OF PREFABRICATED REINFORCEMENT
This Sections provides general detailing for various structural reinforced concrete elements which prefabricated
reinforcement bars by manual fabrication and/or welded wire fabric could be adopted.
1. Standard series of welded wire fabric are widely specified by engineers for use in non-suspended ground
slabs, suspended floor slabs, building walls, external retaining walls, strip and pad footings, box-culverts, open
and closed drains and any other reinforced concrete structural elements and architectural features such as fin
and parapet walls. Such structural components could be in the forms of precast, prestressed or cast-in-situ
elements.
2. Where standard mesh does not meet a particular design requirement, custom-made welded wire fabric termed
as "Designer" or "Engineered" series can be manufactured by specialist suppliers upon engineer' s request
and early consultation.
3. Similarly, to reduce site wastage, overcome tight working space and increase productivity and speed on
construction as well as when fabric could not meet the design requirement for higher reinforcement content,
prefabricated reinforcement bars cage to be factory-made prior sending to project sites for such structural
elements could be made.
4. Engineer shall liaise with specialist suppliers and fabricators on the feasible cage to meet lifting, lapping and
installation requirements.
5. Engineer may consider to use structural couplers, if need arises, to meet lapping, lifting and installation
requirements on site.

TYPES OF FABRIC LAP
Plain welded wire fabric (plain WWF) bonds to concrete by the positive mechanical anchorage at each intersection.
Deformed welded wire fabric (deformed WWF) utilises wire deformation plus the welded intersection for bond and
anchorage. According to SS:32, the minimum weld shear stress requirement for plain WWF is 250 MPa and deformed
WWF is 140 MPa. Based on this requirement, a lap splice with two welded intersection overlapping is sufficient to
transfer the full yield strength for plain WWF. As for deformed WWF the lap length could be reduced depending on
the number of welded intersection present with the lap.
