This work contains 12 peer-reviewed papers presented at an October
2001 symposium and published in the Journal of ASTM International,
reporting on the state of the art in the use of dimension stone in
building and pavement construction. Papers are in sections on strength
testing, design, evaluation and investigation, and durability. Specific
subjects addressed include full-scale flexural strength testing for
stone cladding design, material strength considerations in dimension
stone anchorage design, characteristics that affect the integrity of
existing thin stone cladding, and field testing versus laboratory
testing of stone durability. B&w photos are included. The editors
are co-chairmen of the symposium and co-editors of STP. There is no
subject index.
