ANALISIS PERKUATAN TULANGAN WIREMESH PADA STRUKTUR BAWAH LANTAI PROYEK PEMBANGUNAN GEDUNG RSUD

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role and effectiveness of wiremesh reinforcement as strengthening for subfloor structures in the construction project of a Regional General Hospital (RSUD) building. The methods used include field observations during an internship program and a literature review. The observation results indicate that the use of M6-type wiremesh functions as a tensile force resistor, a controller of cracks due to concrete shrinkage, and a means of evenly distributing loads. The analysis shows that wiremesh installation improves time efficiency (±15–20 minutes per 3×6 m span) and requires fewer workers compared to manual reinforcement. In contrast, subfloor structures without wiremesh have a higher risk of early cracking and reduced long-term durability. In conclusion, wiremesh reinforcement is highly recommended for buildings with high operational loads, such as hospitals, to ensure structural stability and service life
