In third Career Episode, the author demonstrates his technical skills he used to complete the
project he was involved in as an assignment project during his university study. The Project
was “Enhancing Ductility of One-Way Concrete Slabs Reinforced with Welded Wire
Reinforcement. The key responsibility of the writer was:
1. To mitigate the strain localization effect and demonstrate the WWR can be used
safely
2. To present a recommendation of details and minimum reinforcement required for
WWR slabs
3. To examine the effects of strain rate on the mechanical properties of WWR and
traditional rebar
4. To conduct a parametric study to examine the effect of steel ductility and geometry
of the slabs on the behavior of WWR reinforced members
5. To give reinforced concrete designers rules such that they can be confident in their
WWR designs
6. To demonstrate the strain rate effects on the mechanical properties of WWR and
traditional rebar.
