    Hafiz Mudassir
    Gabions are baskets made of galvanized steel wire mesh that are filled with stones to form structures such as retaining walls. The steel wire used is zinc coated for corrosion resistance. Gabions are divided into cells by diaphragms and have reinforced edges. They are produced in various standard sizes and the wire meets specifications for diameter, tensile strength, and zinc coating thickness. Gabions provide flexible, permeable structures for erosion control projects.

    TECHNICAL DATA SHEET

    Rev: 00, Issue Data 30.04.2004

    GABIONS
    GALVANIZED
    Gabions are baskets made of double twisted steel woven wire
    Lid
    mesh, as per EN 10223-3 (Figs. 1, 2). Gabions are filled with
    stones at the project site to form flexible, permeable, monolithic
    Diaphragm
    structures such as retaining walls, channel linings, and weirs End
    for erosion control projects.
    The steel wire used in the manufacture of the gabion is heavily
    zinc coated soft temper steel. The standard specifications of
    mesh-wire are shown in Table 2. Back
    The gabion is divided into cells by means of diaphragms
    positioned at approximately 1m centers (Fig.1). In order to
    reinforce the structure, all mesh panel edges are selvedged H
    with a wire having a greater diameter (Tables 3, 4). End
    Dimensions and sizes of galvanized gabions are shown in
    Table 1.

    All tests on wire must be performed prior to manufacturing the Figure 1
    mesh.
    1. Tensile strength: the wire used for the manufacture of
    gabions shall have a tensile strength between 350-500 N/
    mm2 according to EN 10223-3. Wire tolerances (Table 4)
    are in accordance with EN 10218 (Class T1).
    The tolerance on the opening
    2. Elongation: Elongation shall not be less than 10%, in of mesh ‘D’ being the
    accordance with EN 10223-3. Test must be carried out distance between the axis of
    on a sample at least 25 cm long. two consecutive twists, is
    3. Zinc coating: minimum quantities of zinc shown at Table according to EN 10223-3 D
    4 meet the requirements of EN 10244-2 (Table 1, Class A).
    4. Adhesion of zinc: the adhesion of the zinc coating to the
    wire shall be such that, when the wire is wrapped six turns
    around a mandrel having four times the diameter of the
    wire, it does not flake or crack when rubbing it with the
    bare fingers.
