Dimension stone cladding design - Dowel Anchorage Design

Maio 2008

In stone cladding the adhesion process is always a delicate process and determinant for the duration of the application (cladding itself). Generally it is common to divide the product fixtures into two systems: the material’s natural nesting and the mechanical fixing of the products. While the first situation envisages the positioning of the materials in an ordered manner aiming to attain a rigid system that fulfils the objective of the application project (for example a sidewalk or a simple wall), the use of artificial fixtures for stone products, the so called indirect fixing system, have observed a major evolution not only with respect to the bonding elements used, but mainly concerning the techniques involved. In a building’s “skin”, stone and its supporting systems shall be compatible with the behaviour and performance of other interfacing systems, such as curtain walls and superstructure frames. In this sense, a properly executed dimensional stone cladding must be designed and installed within the capabilities and limitations of the stone’s support system to resist all active forces or actions. The most important aspects in the design of dimension stone cladding involves the configuration, size and spacing of the panels and also that of the anchorage system that will affix the stone panels to the underlying building substrate.
