IfcReinforcingMesh
What is IfcReinforcingMesh?
IfcReinforcingMesh represents a prefabricated welded wire mesh used for reinforcing concrete slabs, walls, and other elements. Meshes provide uniform reinforcement distribution and are faster to install than individual rebar placement.

Real-World Usage
Welded wire mesh is commonly used for slab-on-grade and thin slab reinforcement. Construction teams track mesh sheet quantities and lap splice requirements for procurement and placement verification.

IfcReinforcingBar
IfcReinforcingBar represents a steel reinforcement bar (rebar) embedded in concrete to provide tensile strength. Rebar elements include properties for bar diameter, grade, bending shape, and length. They are typically grouped into rebar sets for scheduling.
Building ElementIfcSlab
IfcSlab represents a horizontal construction element that forms the floor, roof, or landing of a building. Slabs can be classified as floor slabs, roof slabs, landing slabs, or base slabs (foundations). They are typically the largest elements by area in a building model.
Building ElementIfcWall
IfcWall represents a vertical construction element that bounds or subdivides spaces. Walls are one of the most fundamental building elements in any IFC model, defining the physical envelope and internal partitioning of a building. IfcWall can represent both load-bearing structural walls and non-load-bearing partitions.
