Page 5: Welded Wire Mesh possibly interpreted as longitudinal steel: 9 gage at 4" spacing, transverse steel 12 gage at 12" spacing. Area/foot - long: .052 in2, transverse steel: .009 in2. Obviously this would be for a one-way type of slab. I can't find anything on what the "BF" is. It might be B(?)Fabric!
My CRSI handbook is 1952 (first one) and they have a 4 x 12 - 9/12 listed for One-Way Types.

That's a tough one to figure out. Any good leads yet? I'll check our office library, but it sounds like a proprietary call-out. My guess is the 9 means a No. 9 wire. Maybe spaced at 12"o.c. Good luck with this one.

All,
We are working on a project that involves an existing reinforced concrete building with the drawings dated 1937. The reinforcing specified for 3" slab over joists is BF912 Mesh. Does anyone know BF912 Mesh?
TIA
