Large stone veneer panel
Large stone veneer panel
(OP)
OK I have this project where some part of the exterior wall will be covered with 3'wide x 3.5'high stone veneer panel. The veneer will probably be 2" thick. Usually on regular stone veneer I just provide an angle or dry stack cmu on the foundation and let the mason do the rest. This time the city wants a detail on how to attach this veneer. Does anyone have any idea? The architect and I both agree that we will put a slot at the top and bottom edge. Now how do I attach these panels to the studs? I want to make sure it will be an easy procedure.

Better yet, search the IBC for the corresponding section for this topic.

The next level of stone is supported on the bottom with 1/8" dovetail straps with a 1/4" hole to fit a 1/4" pin that entends from a hole in the lower panel, through the hole in the dovetail strap and into the panel above.In the 3' panel the pins could be at 6", 2', 6"...
All materials are stainless... have to watch the welding of the bar/pins to the shelf angle.

dik, im not sure if i can follow what you are saying on your second paragraph. But here is what I would like to do. What do you guys think?
The whole veneer on the wall will be supported by stainless angle with thru-bolts @ 16" o.c (each stud wall)
1st level of stone I will put this product on each side of the stone (create a slot on each side).
h
2nd level I will use the same product at the bottom, maybe 2 each stone. I bend will hold the 1st level, the other bend will hold 2nd level. I will use lag screw to stud or blocking in the wall.
Are you guys following me? What do you think?

Please note that 2" veneer is very thin and will require taking a very close look at loads, stresses and tolerances.

I would suggest that the angle be welded to the studs. The studs should be sized for the eccentric weight from the stone veneer as well as wind and seismic as may be applicable.
You could weld a continous rod on the top of the horizontal leg of the angle that could engage a groove in the bottom of the stone panel. This would eliminate the need for the additional lower level connections.
I hope this helps!

Pinehurst, thanks for you feedback. Can someone help me find out if the US has similar code for veneer thinner than 3" (75mm)? Pine, to be frank I am a pretty green engineer, what do you mean by lateral support anchorage?
Jike thanks, I will resize the angle and the clips. I forgot about the thru-bolt head. I am not sure what u mean by angle should be welded to studs? This is a residential construction and all i have are 2x6 studs.
RE: Large stone veneer panel
that's the point i was trying to make, lol.....but i wasn't sure if that was the correct terminology. that's pretty much what this other engineer used, in a similar pattern to COE.
RE: Large stone veneer panel
If you're welding stainless, you have to watch for 'rusting' of the weld area.

The US Code reference I am aware of is IBC Sec 1405.5 which directs you to other applicable portions of the IBC and the MSJC Code ...the latter, takes into account the SDC assigned.
BTW, what is the SDC?
RE: Large stone veneer panel
I didn't realize djk had proposed the same detail at the angle. I need to read closer.
