A structural reinforcing layer made from wire, a structural reinforcing
composite layer made from wire, and the resulting load bearing structures
made from or retrofitted with wire reinforced plastics and cements. Said
layers and structures made from monofilament metallic or pre-cured
composite materials twisted into multi-strand wire geometry optimized to
mechanically shear load into rigid thermoplastic, thermoset, metallic or
cementious resin systems. Wire geometry, count, size and
strength/stiffness can be varied in combination with resin type, sheet
structure, permeability and orientation to create layers intended for use
in composite and cement based structures as originally molded
reinforcement or retrofitted structural upgrades.
