PERFORMANCE OF STONE FACADES
K.N. Burn

The
discussion that follows is an expanded version of the talk presented
by Ken Burn during the Building Science Insight program. Stone is
said to represent the epitome of durability and since there is a
reviving interest in the use of stone, particularly as a facade
material, it seems appropriate to gather material pertaining to
this technology and to present an update on historical development
and some fundamentals of the use of stone on our new buildings.
This presentation is of particular interest to designers, as it
brings to the fore the little-known problems associated with the
use of stone as a veneer.
