CODE OF PRACTICE FOR
EXTERNAL FACINGS AND VENEERS
PART II CEMENT CONCRETE FACING
0. FOREWORD
0.1 This Indian Standard ( Part II ) was adopted by the Indian
Standards Institution on 30 March 1967, after the draft finalized by the
Building Construction Practices Sectional Committee had been approv-
ed by the Civil Engineering Division Council.
0.2 Concrete slabs with different colours, textures and finishes
provide possibilities for a wide range of architectural treatment
for external facing and are particularly suited for wide scale
adoption in multi-storey constructions. While finishes with natural
materials like stone slabs are restricted by the availability of suitable
stones and the dressing possible for facing, the concrete finishes can bc
made, in order to obtain a wide range of textures and colours. The
manufacture and marketing of white cement in this country IIOW
has considerably expanded the applicability of concrete to facing
work,
0.2.1 However, it may not be enough to make the concrete blocks
and slabs in the same manner as for interior work since when exposed
to action of weather, the dimensional changes are much more and
concrete has got to be carefully designed to accommodate this. Speci-
ally made facing blocks or slabs are necessary for this purpose. The
techniques of fixing concrete facing slabs also have made several
advancements with regard to fixing devices and their arrangements,
jointing mortar, etc, and their selection with regard to exposure condi-
tions and also with regard to types of units with which they are
used. Part II of this code is intended to provide guidance with regard
to selection of materials and fixing techniques for facing with.concrete
slabs; Part I covers stone facing and only such techniques which
are considered to be feasible for adoption in this country under the
present conditions have been included.
0.3 In the formulation of this standard due weightage has been given to
international co-ordination among the standards and practices prevail-
ing in different countries in addition to relating it to the practices
in the field in this country.
3
IS : 4101( Part II ) - 1967
0.4 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement
of this standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculat-
ed, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in
accordance with IS : 2-1960*. The number of significant places
retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that of
the specified value in this standard.
1. SCOPE
1.1 This standard ( Part II ) covers fixing of cement concrete facing which
may be in the form of’precast concrete facing blocks or slab units.
1.2 This standard does not cover the fixing of prefabricated panels of
plaster rendering mosaic or terrazzo.
2. TERMINOLOGY
2.0 For the purpose of this standard, the following definitions shall apply.
2.1 Combing - The process of graining done with a flexible toothed
metal plate.
2.2 Facing - Where different parts of the, wall thickness are composed
of different materials or grades of materials, facing refers to the outer
part of the wall, composed of one material or grade of material
and held to the other part ( backing ) by bonding or mechanical anchors
or both.
2.3 Hardening Shrinkage -The shrinkage that occurs in a freshly made
precast concrete unit during the period of drying to maturity.
2.4 Joint Sealing Compound - A material used by itself or in conjunc-
tion with mortar or other material for making the joints watertight.
2.5 Mastic -A general term for any substance which remains
pliable, used for adhesive compounds and joint sealing compounds.
2.6 Starey Level Support - The support given to facings at storey levels,
SO that there is not a tendency to continuous load transfer from the top
facings of the building down to those at ground level.
3. NECESSARY INFORMATION
3.1 For the efficient planning, design and execution of external facing
or veneering work, detailed information with regard to the following
*Rules for rounding off numerical values ( revised).
4
IS : 4101( Part II) - 1967
shall b&‘furnished to those responsible for external facing and
veneering work:
a)
W
Cl
4
Dimensional details of the walls to be faced or veneered;
type and conditions of backing to which the facings are to
be attached;
The method of attachment, namely, whether the facing should
be independently supported or may be attached rigidly to the
backings;
Location and details of openings, chases, drainage pipes, service
lines, etc, to be embedded; and
Any special precaution with regard to design tihich are to be
taken into account depending upon the local climatic and other
conditions.
3.2 All information shall be made available to those who.are responsi-
ble for the facing work, necessary drawings and instructions for
planning work shall also be furnished.
3.3 Arrangements shall also be made for the proper exchange of infor-
mation between those engaged in facing work and all those whose work
will. effect or will be effected.
4. MATERIALS
4.1 Precast concrete facing concrete blocks shall conform generally
to the requirements of IS : 2185-1962* and in addition shall have special
treatment in regard to durability, colour and surface textures for the
exposed facing.

movement. Where the blocks are’ manufactured in 8 vertical core mschine,
combing marks 8re made on one face of the blocks after they are taken out of the
mould end Bubaequently this face is treated with 8 special face mix ‘admixed with
8 weterprooflng compound. If the COBt iB not prohibitive, 8 richer mix admixed
with 8 waterproofing compound mey be used throughout in the facing
blocks.
4.1.1 The size commonly adopted for concrete facing slabs will be

5. DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
5.1 Structural Design
5.1.1 The structural design of facings and their attachments must be
able to withstqnd, without damaging the pushing and pulling effect of
positive and negative air pressures got by winds. For design data with
regard to wind loads reference may be made to IS : 875-1964**.
5.1.2 In the case of cramp-supported facings, the stresses induced by
weight of the ficings shall also be codsidered in the design of the
cramps or other attachments.
5.2 Types of Facing and Methods of Attachment - Facings and veneer-
ings may be of two types:
4
b)
Methods of attachment of facings may be any one of the5.2.1
following:
a) Using cramps to hold the fa’cing units in position only, the
weight of the unit being transferred to the facing unit beneath;
or
Attached facings for use with backing only as a safe means of
attachment without essentially contributing to the stability or
load bearing properties of the wall, and
Integrally reacting facings which are bonded with the backing
and contribute to the structural stability and strength of
the wall.

IS : 4101 (Part II) - 1967
b) Using cramps to hold the units in position and in, addition ’
to support the units thus transferring the weight of the unit to
the backing; or
c) The facing unit may contain projections which mechanically
bond into the backing and support the unit; or
d) By means of masonry bond or keying to the backing; or
e) By combinationspf the above methods.
5.2.2 Where cramps are used to hold the unit in position only, the
facings shall be provided with a continuous support on which they rest
at the ground level and other storey levels, the :support being in
the form of projection from or recess in the concrete floor slab, or
a beam between the columns or a metal angle attached to the floor slab
or beams. These supports shail preferably occur at vertical intervals
not more than 3.5 m apart and also over the heads of all open-
ings. Such supports shall also be provided where there is a transition
from thin facings below the thicker facings fixed above.
NOTE -Generally the week point about faoing of high walls with low
transmitting facing slabs will be the dependence of the whole upon the performance
of each unit. The failure to hold a slab properly in position by accidental
omission of a faulty cramp or a faihre in an imperfect facing, ebo, may result in
collapse of many facinga above and around the point of failure. To obviate this
risk intermediate supports for facings will be essential. However, the streeees set
up in the lower most facings as a result of accumulation of the load will normally
be of such an order that can be borne by the material.
5.2.3 Staggering - Staggering of vertical joints may also preferably
be adopted to reduce the danger of wholesale collapse.
5.3 Supporting by Projecting -Supporting by means of projections
which may mechanically bond into the facing is a common method of
attaching concrete facing units. Projecting portions must be reinforced
to prevent failures. In areas of severe exposure the reinforcement of the
concrete shaI1 have enough cover to minimize the risk of corrosion and
section spoiling.
5.4 Supporting by Cramps - Facing blocks or slab units shall be support-
ed by means of cramps for its stability. Cramps may be attached
to its sides (see A and B in Fig. 1 ) or at top and bottom (see C, D, E
and F in Fig. 1 ) or to its sides, top and bottom ( see G and H in Fig. 1)
or in its centre ( see J in Fig. 1 ).
5.4.1 The position and number of cramps shall be fixed with regard
to the facing type, size and weight of units and the condition
of workmanship obtainable in the particular situation. The minimum
number of cramps required for fixing facing unit to the wall are
illustrated in Fig. 1. These minimum requirements should be modified
in accordance with the situation.

IS : 4101( Part II) - 1967
5.42 Side Attachment -For horizontal joints of double joggle or
grouted core type one cramp shall be attached to the both sides
of facing (see A in Fig. 1 ). Alternatively, two cramps shall be attached
to one side of facing and one cramp to the other side (see B in
Fig. 1).
5.4.3 Top and Bottom Attachment - Two cramps at top and one at
bottom of facing shall be attached in case the bottom cramps are
unsuitable for bearing load ( see C in Fig. 1); where bottom cramps are
in position to bear load, two cramps at bottom and one at top shall be
attached (see D in Fig. 1 ). For making arrangement, more simpler,
two double cramps shall be attached at bottom and top of the facing
block ( see E in Fig. 1). In case vertical joints are grouted and cramps
carry no weight, two double cramps shall be attached one at bottom
and the other at the top (see F in Fig. 1 ).
5.4.4 Side, Top and Bottom AttaChment - Three cramps shall be
attached to the facing block to have more security for holding; out
of three, two shall be double cramps and one single cramp. Single
cramp shall be attached at the top atid double cramps shall be
attached to both the sides (see G in Fig. 1 ). If single cramp is
attached to its side and double cramps are attached to the top and
bottom, the arrangement will be unsuitable for bearing load unless an
extra cramp is fixed at horizontal joint ( see H in Fig. 1 ).
5.4.5 Centre Attachment -One central holding cramp shall be
suitable for horizontal joints of double joggle or grouted core type
(see J in Fig. 1 ).
materials.
This arrangement is only specified for precast
5.5 Joints -The joints between facing units may be finished flush,
tuck, ruled, square, weathered-struck or rebated, as in Fig. 2. Where
expansion joints are formed in the general structure or backing walls,
these joints shall also be carried through the facing.
5.5.1 TO make the joints weather tight, normally composite mortar
cement lime sand 1 : 1 : 6 will be found satisfactory. .
NOTE -Special joint sealing compounda which have greater elasticity
than masonry mortar and better durability are used in other countries but these
compounds are not generatly available in this country.
5.5.2 For prevention of travel of moisture from the backing to the
facing where such trouble is envisaged, sometimes it may be useful
to attach the facing unit with only dabs of mortar instead with applica-
tion of mortar to the whole of the ,backing. However, this procedure
will have disadvantages compared to solid filling, such as less piotec-
tion against impact, tendency to warping and less security of cramp
fixing.
10
IS : 4101 (Part II ) - 1967
5.5.3 Use of string courses or other features for deflecting water from
the face of high buildings will considerably reduce the incidence of
moisture penetration both at the joints and at the facing unit. How-
ever, a vertical and horizontal joints around such features shall be
properly sealed with a waterproofing compound.
NOTE- Generally bitumens of Grade 260 to 500 will be suitable-for such seal.
ing ( see also IS : 1834-1961* ).
6. FIXING PRECAST CONCRETE SLAB FACINGS
6.1 The facings can be fixed with butt joints, single and double joggled
joints or grouted joints as illustrated in Fig. 2, 3 and 4.
6.2 When the backing wall is of in situ concrete it will be of advantage
to use dovetailed non-corrosive metal channels cast vertically in the
backing wall in which one end of the cramps fit, the other end being
cranked or drilled for dowells, the cramps being set into the channel as
the fixing proceeds.
6.3 Use of Butt Joints
6.3.1 Butt joint is the simplest form of joints and may be used when the
facing unit has a projection into a backing to provide mechanical
bond.
6.3.2 It may also be used when it has no such projection with
the following arrangements:
a) The weight of the facing unit is transmitted to the facing unit
under it and the facing unit is attached to the backing with
mortar only ( see Al in Fig. 4 ).
b) The weight of the facing units is transmitted to the filcing
unit below but the facing unit is attached to the backirlg
by means of flat cramps and by mortar. The split end 01
the cramp shall be fixed to the facing u&t by making a groove
in it ( see A2 in Fig. 4 ).
c) Part of the weight of the facing unit is transmitted directly to
the backing by means of a rag bolt ( see A3 in Fig. 4 ).
6.4 Single Joggled Joint - In the case of single joggled joints when
side cramps are used they need only be single cramp as, one side of the
cramp is already held in position. The. positionill g of single cramp .
will be easier than that of double cramps in practice (see 82 and B3
in Fig. 4). Where lec$ed type of facing is used in coljjunction with an
inverted single-joggle Joint, probably cramps may not be necessary and
the joint shall be as shown in Fig. 5.

NOTE - The inverted joggle joint at the top nf tho ledge is suit8ble only wheq

FIG. 5 CONCRETE FACINGS SUPPORTED ON LEDGES
6.5 Double Joggled Joint - Double joggled joint ( see Cl in Fig. 4 )
will not be suitable for vertical joints as the sliding action necessary
to engage the unit vertically will interfere with the proper bedding of
the horizontal joint and the bond to the backing wall mortar.
This type of joint shall, however, be suitable for horizontal joints;
it locks the units to one another by positive action, but cramps may be
needed to hold the units to the wall as illustrated in C2 in Fig. 4.
Cramps when fitted to the wall with the help of rag bolt as shown in C3
in Fig. 4 shall be in position to support the weight of construction
at intermediate levels.
6.6 The grouted joint as shown in Dl in Fig. 4 shall stabilize the facing
system if applied to all horizontal and vertical joints. When this type of
joint is qe@ horizontally care shall be taken to ensure that as much as
possible the upper groove is filled with mortar. When using this type
of joint as a vertical joint it may be advantageous to plank off or caulk
the external portion of the joint up to the outer edge of the core
with rolled paper. The joint shall be filled with cement sand grout and
the rolled paper shall be extracted out when the grout has partially set
16
IS : 4101 (Part II) - 1967
and the joint shall be pointed immediately. Cramps may be used for
supporting the unit with the wall and aIso for bearing load partially as
in 02 and 03 in Fig. 4, respectively.
6.7 The thickness of joints may vary from 6 to 10 mm. Where necessary
from architectural considerations, thickness of weathered joints may be
more but shall never exceed 15 mm.
7. CONTROL OF ALIGNMENT
7.1 The appearance of the finished wall face exhibiting a plain surface
will be easily marked by inaccuracies of alignment. Accuracy of
alignment will depend upon the control of uniform size for the cover-
ings, freedom from warping as well as in the accuracy with which the
cramps are fixed. Where practicable the backing wall shall be built
simultaneously with the fixing of facings as this will assist in maintaining
the correct alignment of the facings. Inaccuracies in alignment of
slabs to some extent will be masked by the treatment of the joints, for
example, by the use of chamfered, slightly rounded or rebated edge in
place of simple squared edge. Such an edge will in addition be
free from chipping due to handling.

  • 4. IS : 4101( Part II ) - 1967 Indian Standard CODE OF PRACTICE FOR EXTERNAL FACINGS AND VENEERS PART II CEMENT CONCRETE FACING 0. FOREWORD 0.1 This Indian Standard ( Part II ) was adopted by the Indian Standards Institution on 30 March 1967, after the draft finalized by the Building Construction Practices Sectional Committee had been approv- ed by the Civil Engineering Division Council. 0.2 Concrete slabs with different colours, textures and finishes provide possibilities for a wide range of architectural treatment for external facing and are particularly suited for wide scale adoption in multi-storey constructions. While finishes with natural materials like stone slabs are restricted by the availability of suitable stones and the dressing possible for facing, the concrete finishes can bc made, in order to obtain a wide range of textures and colours. The manufacture and marketing of white cement in this country IIOW has considerably expanded the applicability of concrete to facing work, 0.2.1 However, it may not be enough to make the concrete blocks and slabs in the same manner as for interior work since when exposed to action of weather, the dimensional changes are much more and concrete has got to be carefully designed to accommodate this. Speci- ally made facing blocks or slabs are necessary for this purpose. The techniques of fixing concrete facing slabs also have made several advancements with regard to fixing devices and their arrangements, jointing mortar, etc, and their selection with regard to exposure condi- tions and also with regard to types of units with which they are used. Part II of this code is intended to provide guidance with regard to selection of materials and fixing techniques for facing with.concrete slabs; Part I covers stone facing and only such techniques which are considered to be feasible for adoption in this country under the present conditions have been included. 0.3 In the formulation of this standard due weightage has been given to international co-ordination among the standards and practices prevail- ing in different countries in addition to relating it to the practices in the field in this country. 3
  • 5. IS : 4101( Part II ) - 1967 0.4 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculat- ed, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance with IS : 2-1960*. The number of significant places retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard. 1. SCOPE 1.1 This standard ( Part II ) covers fixing of cement concrete facing which may be in the form of’precast concrete facing blocks or slab units. 1.2 This standard does not cover the fixing of prefabricated panels of plaster rendering mosaic or terrazzo. 2. TERMINOLOGY 2.0 For the purpose of this standard, the following definitions shall apply. 2.1 Combing - The process of graining done with a flexible toothed metal plate. 2.2 Facing - Where different parts of the, wall thickness are composed of different materials or grades of materials, facing refers to the outer part of the wall, composed of one material or grade of material and held to the other part ( backing ) by bonding or mechanical anchors or both. 2.3 Hardening Shrinkage -The shrinkage that occurs in a freshly made precast concrete unit during the period of drying to maturity. 2.4 Joint Sealing Compound - A material used by itself or in conjunc- tion with mortar or other material for making the joints watertight. 2.5 Mastic -A general term for any substance which remains pliable, used for adhesive compounds and joint sealing compounds. 2.6 Starey Level Support - The support given to facings at storey levels, SO that there is not a tendency to continuous load transfer from the top facings of the building down to those at ground level. 3. NECESSARY INFORMATION 3.1 For the efficient planning, design and execution of external facing or veneering work, detailed information with regard to the following *Rules for rounding off numerical values ( revised). 4
  • 6. IS : 4101( Part II) - 1967 shall b&‘furnished to those responsible for external facing and veneering work: a) W Cl 4 Dimensional details of the walls to be faced or veneered; type and conditions of backing to which the facings are to be attached; The method of attachment, namely, whether the facing should be independently supported or may be attached rigidly to the backings; Location and details of openings, chases, drainage pipes, service lines, etc, to be embedded; and Any special precaution with regard to design tihich are to be taken into account depending upon the local climatic and other conditions. 3.2 All information shall be made available to those who.are responsi- ble for the facing work, necessary drawings and instructions for planning work shall also be furnished. 3.3 Arrangements shall also be made for the proper exchange of infor- mation between those engaged in facing work and all those whose work will. effect or will be effected. 4. MATERIALS 4.1 Precast concrete facing concrete blocks shall conform generally to the requirements of IS : 2185-1962* and in addition shall have special treatment in regard to durability, colour and surface textures for the exposed facing. NOTE - Where the blocks 8re manufactured in 8 horizontal core machine 8 Bpeciel face mix admired with 8 waterproofing compound shall be cast integrally with the body of the block, both mixes hsving 8pproximately the same moisture movement. Where the blocks are’ manufactured in 8 vertical core mschine, combing marks 8re made on one face of the blocks after they are taken out of the mould end Bubaequently this face is treated with 8 special face mix ‘admixed with 8 weterprooflng compound. If the COBt iB not prohibitive, 8 richer mix admixed with 8 waterproofing compound mey be used throughout in the facing blocks. 4.1.1 The size commonly adopted for concrete facing slabs will be 60 x 40 x 3 cm. The face finish of slabs shall also be adequately waterproofed. 4.1.2 For obtaining various colours in the admixtures, reference may be made to IS : 2114-1962t in which information regarding the pigments to be used in concrete mixes are also covered, The textures and *Specification for lood besring hollow concrete blocks. tCode of practice for laying in situ cement concrete flooring. 5
  • 7. IS : 4101( Part II) - 1967 patterns that are obtainable in precast concrete blocks are innumerable and some of the popular patterns are the following: a) Chequered rubber mat, b) Corrugated surface, c) Two-colour chequered patterns, I’d) Multi-colour mosaic patterns, and e) Canvas texture. 4.1.2.1 Some of the well-known textures are the following: Smooth trowel finish, Wood float finish, Cork float finish, Scraped surface finish, Rubber sponge float finish, Sand surface face down finish (see also IS : 2402-1963* ). Pebble dash finish, Rough cast finish, and Cast-stone finish. 4.1.2.2 Further information about various finishes is given in IS : 2402-1963*. 4.2 The material for cramps shall have high resistance to corrosion under conditions of dampness and against the chemical action of mortar or concrete in which cramps are usually embedded, 4.2.1 The cramps may be of copper, alloyed with zinc, tin, nickel and aluminium or stainless steel. 4.2.2 Aluminium alloy H 9 in W condition ( see IS : 733-1956t ) may also be used for cramps. 4.3 Metal Angle Supports -Metal steel angles used for metal angle supports shall be clean of mill-scale and loose rust after fabrication and shall be given a protective coat preferably in the form of galvanizing. or with at least two coats of appropriate paint as specified in IS: 1477 ( Part I )-1959$ and IS : 1477 ( Part II )-19635.

DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS 5.1 Structural Design 5.1.1 The structural design of facings and their attachments must be able to withstqnd, without damaging the pushing and pulling effect of positive and negative air pressures got by winds. For design data with regard to wind loads reference may be made to IS : 875-1964**. 5.1.2 In the case of cramp-supported facings, the stresses induced by weight of the ficings shall also be codsidered in the design of the cramps or other attachments. 5.2 Types of Facing and Methods of Attachment - Facings and veneer- ings may be of two types: 4 b) Methods of attachment of facings may be any one of the5.2.1 following: a) Using cramps to hold the fa’cing units in position only, the weight of the unit being transferred to the facing unit beneath; or Attached facings for use with backing only as a safe means of attachment without essentially contributing to the stability or load bearing properties of the wall, and Integrally reacting facings which are bonded with the backing and contribute to the structural stability and strength of the wall. *Specification for ordinary, repid-hardening nnd low heat Portland cement. tspecificaticn for Portland blast furnace slag cement. $SpeciAcation for Portland-pozzolana cement. @peoificetion for sand for mesonry mortar. #pecificetion for building limes ( revised). nSpeci5cation for SURKHI for use in mortar and concrete. **Code of preotice for structural safety of buildings: Loading standards (revised). 7
  • 9. IS : 4101 (Part II) - 1967 b) Using cramps to hold the units in position and in, addition ’ to support the units thus transferring the weight of the unit to the backing; or c) The facing unit may contain projections which mechanically bond into the backing and support the unit; or d) By means of masonry bond or keying to the backing; or e) By combinationspf the above methods. 5.2.2 Where cramps are used to hold the unit in position only, the facings shall be provided with a continuous support on which they rest at the ground level and other storey levels, the :support being in the form of projection from or recess in the concrete floor slab, or a beam between the columns or a metal angle attached to the floor slab or beams. These supports shail preferably occur at vertical intervals not more than 3.5 m apart and also over the heads of all open- ings. Such supports shall also be provided where there is a transition from thin facings below the thicker facings fixed above. NOTE -Generally the week point about faoing of high walls with low transmitting facing slabs will be the dependence of the whole upon the performance of each unit. The failure to hold a slab properly in position by accidental omission of a faulty cramp or a faihre in an imperfect facing, ebo, may result in collapse of many facinga above and around the point of failure. To obviate this risk intermediate supports for facings will be essential. However, the streeees set up in the lower most facings as a result of accumulation of the load will normally be of such an order that can be borne by the material. 5.2.3 Staggering - Staggering of vertical joints may also preferably be adopted to reduce the danger of wholesale collapse. 5.3 Supporting by Projecting -Supporting by means of projections which may mechanically bond into the facing is a common method of attaching concrete facing units. Projecting portions must be reinforced to prevent failures. In areas of severe exposure the reinforcement of the concrete shaI1 have enough cover to minimize the risk of corrosion and section spoiling. 5.4 Supporting by Cramps - Facing blocks or slab units shall be support- ed by means of cramps for its stability. Cramps may be attached to its sides (see A and B in Fig. 1 ) or at top and bottom (see C, D, E and F in Fig. 1 ) or to its sides, top and bottom ( see G and H in Fig. 1) or in its centre ( see J in Fig. 1 ). 5.4.1 The position and number of cramps shall be fixed with regard to the facing type, size and weight of units and the condition of workmanship obtainable in the particular situation. The minimum number of cramps required for fixing facing unit to the wall are illustrated in Fig. 1. These minimum requirements should be modified in accordance with the situation. 8

  • 11. IS : 4101( Part II) - 1967 5.42 Side Attachment -For horizontal joints of double joggle or grouted core type one cramp shall be attached to the both sides of facing (see A in Fig. 1 ). Alternatively, two cramps shall be attached to one side of facing and one cramp to the other side (see B in Fig. 1). 5.4.3 Top and Bottom Attachment - Two cramps at top and one at bottom of facing shall be attached in case the bottom cramps are unsuitable for bearing load ( see C in Fig. 1); where bottom cramps are in position to bear load, two cramps at bottom and one at top shall be attached (see D in Fig. 1 ). For making arrangement, more simpler, two double cramps shall be attached at bottom and top of the facing block ( see E in Fig. 1). In case vertical joints are grouted and cramps carry no weight, two double cramps shall be attached one at bottom and the other at the top (see F in Fig. 1 ). 5.4.4 Side, Top and Bottom AttaChment - Three cramps shall be attached to the facing block to have more security for holding; out of three, two shall be double cramps and one single cramp. Single cramp shall be attached at the top atid double cramps shall be attached to both the sides (see G in Fig. 1 ). If single cramp is attached to its side and double cramps are attached to the top and bottom, the arrangement will be unsuitable for bearing load unless an extra cramp is fixed at horizontal joint ( see H in Fig. 1 ). 5.4.5 Centre Attachment -One central holding cramp shall be suitable for horizontal joints of double joggle or grouted core type (see J in Fig. 1 ). materials. This arrangement is only specified for precast 5.5 Joints -The joints between facing units may be finished flush, tuck, ruled, square, weathered-struck or rebated, as in Fig. 2. Where expansion joints are formed in the general structure or backing walls, these joints shall also be carried through the facing. 5.5.1 TO make the joints weather tight, normally composite mortar cement lime sand 1 : 1 : 6 will be found satisfactory. . NOTE -Special joint sealing compounda which have greater elasticity than masonry mortar and better durability are used in other countries but these compounds are not generatly available in this country. 5.5.2 For prevention of travel of moisture from the backing to the facing where such trouble is envisaged, sometimes it may be useful to attach the facing unit with only dabs of mortar instead with applica- tion of mortar to the whole of the ,backing. However, this procedure will have disadvantages compared to solid filling, such as less piotec- tion against impact, tendency to warping and less security of cramp fixing. 10
  • 12. IS : 4101 (Part II ) - 1967 5.5.3 Use of string courses or other features for deflecting water from the face of high buildings will considerably reduce the incidence of moisture penetration both at the joints and at the facing unit. How- ever, a vertical and horizontal joints around such features shall be properly sealed with a waterproofing compound. NOTE- Generally bitumens of Grade 260 to 500 will be suitable-for such seal. ing ( see also IS : 1834-1961* ). 6. FIXING PRECAST CONCRETE SLAB FACINGS 6.1 The facings can be fixed with butt joints, single and double joggled joints or grouted joints as illustrated in Fig. 2, 3 and 4. 6.2 When the backing wall is of in situ concrete it will be of advantage to use dovetailed non-corrosive metal channels cast vertically in the backing wall in which one end of the cramps fit, the other end being cranked or drilled for dowells, the cramps being set into the channel as the fixing proceeds. 6.3 Use of Butt Joints 6.3.1 Butt joint is the simplest form of joints and may be used when the facing unit has a projection into a backing to provide mechanical bond. 6.3.2 It may also be used when it has no such projection with the following arrangements: a) The weight of the facing unit is transmitted to the facing unit under it and the facing unit is attached to the backing with mortar only ( see Al in Fig. 4 ). b) The weight of the facing units is transmitted to the filcing unit below but the facing unit is attached to the backirlg by means of flat cramps and by mortar. The split end 01 the cramp shall be fixed to the facing u&t by making a groove in it ( see A2 in Fig. 4 ). c) Part of the weight of the facing unit is transmitted directly to the backing by means of a rag bolt ( see A3 in Fig. 4 ). 6.4 Single Joggled Joint - In the case of single joggled joints when side cramps are used they need only be single cramp as, one side of the cramp is already held in position. The. positionill g of single cramp . will be easier than that of double cramps in practice (see 82 and B3 in Fig. 4). Where lec$ed type of facing is used in coljjunction with an inverted single-joggle Joint, probably cramps may not be necessary and the joint shall be as shown in Fig. 5. -p--_ *Specification for hot applied ceiling compound for joints in concrete. 11

FIG. 5 CONCRETE FACINGS SUPPORTED ON LEDGES 6.5 Double Joggled Joint - Double joggled joint ( see Cl in Fig. 4 ) will not be suitable for vertical joints as the sliding action necessary to engage the unit vertically will interfere with the proper bedding of the horizontal joint and the bond to the backing wall mortar. This type of joint shall, however, be suitable for horizontal joints; it locks the units to one another by positive action, but cramps may be needed to hold the units to the wall as illustrated in C2 in Fig. 4. Cramps when fitted to the wall with the help of rag bolt as shown in C3 in Fig. 4 shall be in position to support the weight of construction at intermediate levels. 6.6 The grouted joint as shown in Dl in Fig. 4 shall stabilize the facing system if applied to all horizontal and vertical joints. When this type of joint is qe@ horizontally care shall be taken to ensure that as much as possible the upper groove is filled with mortar. When using this type of joint as a vertical joint it may be advantageous to plank off or caulk the external portion of the joint up to the outer edge of the core with rolled paper. The joint shall be filled with cement sand grout and the rolled paper shall be extracted out when the grout has partially set 16
  • 18. IS : 4101 (Part II) - 1967 and the joint shall be pointed immediately. Cramps may be used for supporting the unit with the wall and aIso for bearing load partially as in 02 and 03 in Fig. 4, respectively. 6.7 The thickness of joints may vary from 6 to 10 mm. Where necessary from architectural considerations, thickness of weathered joints may be more but shall never exceed 15 mm. 7. CONTROL OF ALIGNMENT 7.1 The appearance of the finished wall face exhibiting a plain surface will be easily marked by inaccuracies of alignment. Accuracy of alignment will depend upon the control of uniform size for the cover- ings, freedom from warping as well as in the accuracy with which the cramps are fixed. Where practicable the backing wall shall be built simultaneously with the fixing of facings as this will assist in maintaining the correct alignment of the facings. Inaccuracies in alignment of slabs to some extent will be masked by the treatment of the joints, for example, by the use of chamfered, slightly rounded or rebated edge in place of simple squared edge. Such an edge will in addition be free from chipping due to handling. ( Continued from page 2 ) Members SHRI R. S. GODBOLE SHRI R. K. G. NARAYAN ( Alternate ) SHRI P. GUI-IA SHRI’N. J. MA~ANI SHEI M.
