Case History: The White House Visitors Entrance
The details shown on these pages were chosen for monumental security and infinite longevity. The types of connections shown are intended to illustrate the anchoring methods used for this purpose. Stainless steel weld plates were embedded into the backs and tops of stones. The pieces were reinforced with epoxy coated grade 60 rebar; an impossible task for natural cut stone. Alternative anchoring methods using the standard building stone anchors shown in the next section may be employed for greater economy. Weld plates must be specially fabricated, are difficult to position on the unformed side of pieces manufactured with the Vibrant Dry Tamp method and usually require two different trades for setting the stone. |
