Abstract: An apparatus and method for manufacturing a reinforcement member wherein the reinforcement member includes a reelable steel tape being incorporated into concrete. The faces of the steel tape each include substantially rectalinear ribs arranged in at least one longitudinal row, the ribs being substantially parallel to each other and inclined with respect to the longitudinal direction of the tape. The ribs of one of the faces of the tape are symmetrical with respect to the ribs of the other of the faces of the tape in relation to the plane of the tape, parallel to the faces of the tape.

Abstract: A reinforcement member including a reelable steel tape intended to be incorporated into concrete. The faces of the steel tape each include substantially rectilinear ribs arranged in at least one longitudinal row, these being substantially parallel to each other and inclined in relation to the longitudinal direction of the tape. The ribs of one of the faces of the tape are symmetrical with the ribs of the other of the faces of the tape in relation to the mid-plane of the tape, parallel to the faces of this tape.

Abstract: According to a process for the manufacture of a framework (1) for reinforcing concrete structures and, in particular, concrete slab or shell structures in the form of a steel strip (3) with notched or goffered surfaces, a hot laminated sheet is used as a basis material having a width of between 1.5 and 6 mm, whereby said sheet is made of steel with a carbon content of less than 0.9%, and elastic limit of approximately 500 MPa. Said sheet is subjected to a cold lamination process at a strength-hardening level greater than 40% in order to obtain a sheet having, on the one hand, a thickness of between 0.8 and 2.5 mm, and on the other hand, an elastic limit greater than 700 MPa whereby the sheet is cut again so as to obtain a steel strip (3) which is then continuously notched or goffered. The application also concerns the framework obtained according to the process.
