3、ne is chosen as a buildings cladding for its beauty which endures with minimalmaintenance. Stone is durable when used properly. Exercising good judgment when selecting theparticular stone, determining the quarrying and fabrication techniques, designing the method ofattachment, and installing all com
4、ponents correctly maximizes these benefits. A properly executedstone cladding is designed and installed within the capabilities and limitations of the stone and supportsystem to resist all forces that work on them.This guide presents design principles that require consideration when designing anchor

Significance and Use4.1 This guide is intended to be used by architects,engineers, and contractors who either design or install exteriorstone cladding for architectural structures.4.2 This guide is an industry standard for engineerin
21、gdesign considerations, documentation, material considerations,anchor type applications, and installation workmanship toassist designers and installers to achieve a proper and durablestone cladding.4.3 Stone and its support systems are part of a buildingsskin and shall be compatible with the behavio
22、r and perfor-mance of other interfacing systems, such as the curtainwall andsuperstructure frame.4.3.1 Every stone work application shall comply with ap-plicable building codes.4.3.2 It is not the intent of this Guide to supercede publishedrecommendations for specific stone types. Provisions of othe
23、rdimension stone industry publications should be reviewed andconsidered in addition to this Guides recommendations. Allindustry information should be considered with respect toproject specifications and requirements. If provisions of suchpublications differ from those in this Guide, it is acceptable
24、practice to follow the publications provisions if recommendedby the stone specialist defined in 4.4 for the specific conditionsof the individual project.4.3.3 Because stone properties vary, the range and variabil-ity of pertinent properties of the stone proposed for use shouldbe determined by testin
25、g and statistical methods that areevaluated using sound engineering principles. Use recent testdata where applicable. Always reference proven performanceof relevant existing structures.4.3.4 Changes in properties over time shall be considered.FIG. 2 Kerf AnchorC1242 12a134.3.5 Overall behaviors of a

Selection Considerations5.1 Review
31、 the following factors before selecting a stonematerial, an anchoring system and subframe system from thoseoptions being considered:5.1.1 Have the stone materials under consideration per-formed well on existing buildings in similar exposures?5.1.2 Have the different anchoring and subframe systemsund
32、er consideration performed well on existing buildings insimilar exposures?5.1.3 How is the performance of the anchor and its engage-ment into the stone affected by installation and handlingprocedures?5.1.4 How are the performance and appearance of thesubframe, the anchors connection to the subframe,
33、 and thesubframes connections to the building structure affected bydifferential movements?5.1.5 Do the physical characteristics of the stone measuredby standard tests show the material has structural limitations?Which physical properties are important to the application, andwhich test methods measur
34、e those properties and their vari-ability? Refer to Table 2 for standard test methods andproperties they measure.5.1.6 Do the physical characteristics of the stone not mea-sured by standard tests suggest the material may have long-term durability concerns? Other properties, including (but notlimited
35、 to) resistance to chemical attack, weather-relatedstrength reduction, and dimensional changes, might be evalu-ated by special laboratory tests designed to obtain data undersimulated conditions.5.1.7 Does the project location or shape develop exceptionaldesign wind, or seismic loads, or does the sto
36、ne materialrequire higher safety factors than other stones not anticipatedby statutory codes?5.1.8 Do the anchor and subframe system accommodatebuilding dimensional changes caused by wind and seismicsway, thermal and elastic deformation, creep and shrinkage,and their combined effects?5.1.9 Will cont
37、iguous facade elements such as windows,other claddings, window supports, or window-washing andwall maintenance provisions influence the stone cladding, itsanchoring or subframe system?5.1.10 Do the anchor or subframe systems penetratewaterproofing, facilitate internal moisture collection, or pen-etr
38、ate wall insulation and cavity ventilation?5.1.11 Do the materials used resist corrosion, galvanic andchemical reactions?FIG. 6 Disc AnchorFIG. 7 Combined AnchorTABLE 1 Dimension Stone SpecificationsStone Type ASTM SpecificationCalciteAC503DolomiteAC503Granite C615LimestoneBC568Marble (exterior)BC50

42、connection types inany particular project.5.2.4 Provide for adjustability in connections to accommo-date tolerances in materials and construction.5.2.5 Distribute the weight of stone or panel systems on nomore than two points of connection where possible.5.2.6 Make anchor connection locations access

44、nchoring system,the variabilities of the materials being considered should beknown and compensated. This is accomplished through the useof an appropriate safety factor to be applied to the stone, theanchorage, and the backup structure.5.3.1 Table 3 shows generally accepted Safety Factors forstone cl
45、adding by stone type. These factors are recognized byindustry specialists and publications and are based upon pastsuccessful practice. These factors are based on a maximumcoefficient of variation of 20 % when project samples are testedin accordance with Test Methods C99 or C880 for sedimentarystones
46、 in thicknesses of 2 in. (50 mm) or greater. Safety factorscould be changed when conditions listed under 5.3.2 or 5.3.3exist in the project.5.3.2 Exemplar Availability: A safety factor could be modi-fied if the long-term performance of the stone material, anchorand backup system cannot be verified b
47、y well-performingexemplars. Consult a stone specialist as defined in 4.4 for theappropriate change in safety factor.5.3.3 Structural Variables: A safety factor could be modi-fied if specific conditions exist on the project different fromthose upon which Table 3 values are based. Consult a stonespeci
48、alist as defined in 4.4 for the appropriate change in safetyfactor. Some specific conditions are:5.3.3.1 Critical material strength tests show increased vari-ability;5.3.3.2 Life expectancy of project exceeds forty years;5.3.3.3 Stone material loses significant strength over time;5.3.3.4 When design
49、ing stone at anchors;5.3.3.5 Anchor capacity tests show increased variability;5.3.3.6 Anchors will not be inspected in final position onbuilding;5.3.3.7 Anchors require varied installation techniques orvaried positions;5.3.3.8 Panel is used in higher-risk position such as a soffit,overhang, liner block, assembled on backup before beingerected or other similar position.6.
