Concrete Reinforcing Mesh Calculator
Calculate reinforcing mesh requirements for concrete slabs, driveways, and foundations. Determine mesh size, quantity, weight, and cost for your construction project.
Step 1: Project Dimensions
Understanding Reinforcing Mesh
Reinforcing mesh strengthens concrete against cracking. Common sizes: A142 (2.22 kg/m²), A193 (3.02 kg/m²), A252 (3.95 kg/m²), A393 (6.16 kg/m²). Choose based on load requirements.
Step 2: Cost & Coverage
About Mesh Overlap
Mesh sheets should overlap by 10-20% to ensure structural continuity. More overlap provides better reinforcement but increases material usage and cost.

Cost Breakdown Analysis
Reinforcing Mesh Formula
Sheets Required = ceil(Total Area / (Sheet Area × (1 – Overlap/100)))
The total weight is calculated by multiplying the total area by the mesh weight per square meter. Actual requirements may vary based on site conditions, waste factors, and specific engineering requirements.
