Abstract:
The existing Materials Requirements for the galvanized and PVC-coated galvanized gabions contains a few errors. In addition, the existing specification contains material requirements for gabions produced from twisted wire mesh. There is a need to provide appropriate material requirements for gabions produced from welded wire fabric. ASTM has developed appropriate specifications for the materials and manufacture, mechanical and physical properties, dimensions and tolerances and appropriate test methods of welded wire gabions (ASTM A 974). Also, ASTM A 975 contains much of the same information detailed in the existing 712-15, providing appropriate specifications for the materials and manufacture, mechanical and physical properties, dimensions and tolerances and appropriate test methods of twisted wire gabions.
