BS 8298-3:2010

Code of practice for the design and installation of natural stone cladding and lining. Stone-faced pre-cast concrete cladding systems | Status: Superseded, Withdrawn

1 Scope This part of BS 8298 gives recommendations for the design, installation and maintenance of natural stone directly attached to pre-cast concrete units (i.e. stone faced concrete cladding units). Loadbearing stones or stones held only by adhesion are not included, nor is any type of stonework supported or held in position around the perimeter of stones or series of stones by metal framing. Guidance on the design of the precast concrete unit is given in BS 8297. This part of BS 8298 is to be read in conjunction with BS 8298‑1. Different cladding and lining methods are covered in the other parts of BS 8298 (see Foreword).
