DESIGN ALTERNATIVES
Chicken Wire is affordable, flexible to work with, lightweight, and it has corrosion resistance.
Geogrid is cost effective, sustainable, and improves structural integrity.
Carbon Fiber Mesh is lightweight, has high strength, good toughness, it can be used in moisture surfaces, it's resistant to salt, acid, and alkali, and it can be used for flexural, shear, and confinement strengthening.
Fiberglass Mesh is resistant to harsh environments, it's capable of adhering to a putty or plaster surface, it increases the strength characteristics of surfaces,
Nitinol Memory Wire improves cracking resistance and could potentially self-heal concrete structures due to its shape memory and superelasticity.
Fiberglass Strands increase tensile strength and reduce cracking, as well as improve durability and resistance to freeze-thaw cycles.
