AAC WORLDWIDE %u2022 2.2026 APPLICATION & CONSTRUCTION 57DesignThe MC SMMR longitudinal steel wires are designed as horizontal bed joint reinforcement for flexural tension in the direction of the bed joint reinforcement in masonry walls.The use of MC SMMR conforms to the guidelines of BIS: 6041 %u2013 1985 Clause 4.6.3.1(b), which states %u201cIncorporating steel reinforcement either in the form of nominal RCC bond beams (see 4.6.4) or horizontal joint reinforcement (see 4.6.5). Horizontal joint reinforcement serves much the same purpose in crack control as RCC bond beams; it increases the tensile resistance to cracking. Due to the generally closer spacing adopted in bed joints, bed joint steel reinforcement may be more effective in crack control than bond beams%u201d.BenefitsWater-free installation: SMMR does not require any water during installation or curing. There is no water dependency, reducing the strain on water resources and minimizing environmental impact.Reduced carbon footprint: By eliminating the need for cement and concrete as well as limiting the use Product Mesh Width (mm) Thickness (mm) Length (m)Murfor Compact A-40 7 steel cords 40 1.75 30Murfor Compact A-80 14 steel cords 80 1.75 30General application of Murfor Compact in AAC block masonry.Table 1: DimensionsTable 2: PropertiesProduct properties Murfor Compact A-40 Murfor Compact A-80Yield strength (MPa) 1770 1770Tensile strength (MPa) 2100 2100E-Modulus (GPa) 180 180
