Descripción
The monumental architecture of Salamanca (Spain) is directly related to golden sandstone obtained in the neighbouring quarries. The characteristics of this stone as high porosity, poor adherence with mortars, and low moisture sensitive strength, prevent the use of thin plates simply adhered to the brickwork and make it impossible to be used in ventilated façades. To solve this low strength problem a construction system was developed decades ago: steel nails partially hammered to the back side of plates and joined to the brickwork by mortar. The heads of the nails remain inserted in the mortar working as anchors between the stone and the mortar. A new improved use of this traditional construction system is described in this presentation. Precast concrete panels are cladded with stone plates by using the nails technique. An experimental assessment of this system and their safety against wind suction is discussed.
