RENO MATTRESS PLUS

GALVANIZED & POLYMER COATED
Reno Mattresses Plus are units manufactured from double twisted hexagonal woven steel wire mesh type 6x8. The steel wire
used is Galvanized (Zn) and coated with polymer. The base, diaphragms, front, end, and sides of the unit are manufactured
from one continuous panel of mesh; the base is folded onto itself at regular intervals to form double diaphragms that are se-
cured with spirals at the production facility. To secure a tighter packing of the filling stones and improve the hydraulic perfor-
mances of the mattresses, the units are supplied together with vertical ties (X-Ties) connecting the base panel to the lid and to
be installed on the site. Units are produced in compliance with EN 10223-3.

The Permissible Shear Stresses of Reno

mattresses have been obtained by full
scale flume tests performed at the
Engineering Research Center of Colorado
State University (USA) following the ASTM
D 6460 test methodology. The design val-
ues depend on installation procedures (use
of X-Ties) and actual stones characteristics
(D50, Cu). Use Maccaferri MACRA software

X-Tie is a pre-formed bracing system made of Galvanized (Zn) and polymer coated steel wire, used to secure a tighter packing
of the filling stones and improve the hydraulic performances of Reno Mattress Plus unit, enabling a quick and easy connection
of the base panel to the lid during the installation process on the site.
X-Ties allow for a faster installation compared to traditional vertical ties made of lacing wire, as their pre-shaped hooks can
easily be attached to the base panel; furthermore, due to their robustness and their capability to distribute the forces over a
larger wire mesh surface, their density (1 X-Tie per m2) is half that of traditional vertical ties (2 per m 2).
X-Ties are made of 2 pre-assembled components: the vertical leg connecting the base panel to the lid and the inclined tie to
keep the vertical leg into position during the stone filling operations; the upper part of the vertical leg is eventually fixed to the
lid by means of 2 rings.
