PART 2 GENERAL - SECTION 04407 E13.1 Cracking and debonding in select stones has progressed to the extent that a program of interim stabilization is required. The identification and stabilization of such areas is required to reduce the possibility of the stone falling away from the building. A remediation program has been previously completed, however this follow-up program shall identify and stabilize additional areas of loose or debonded stone. (a) Design Considerations (i) The Tyndal stone cladding has a nominal thickness of 1.5", bonded to a precast concrete panel approximately 3.5" thick. This section therefore details temporary anchoring of the stone panels to the structural backup in areas required, as determined on-site. (ii) Small, shallow stone spalls less than 0.5 square feet in size which are visibly loose or fractured to the point in which the section is fully debonded from the substrate are to be removed by the Contractor. Removal of these loose fractures is to be included into the swing-stage mobilization and operational fixed price. (iii) This specification shall be read in conjunction with attached repair Drawing S-5. (b) Work Included (i) Select locations at the discretion of the Contract Administrators Representative will have an in-situ load test to establish the integrity of typical panel anchorages. (ii) This specification section presents two individual procedures for the masonry stabilization.

of 5 Method A: Method B: Method C: Anchoring steel panels over stone, secured into the concrete precast backup. Installing through-stone anchors to reinforce existing anchorage. Removal of loose fractured segments of stone panels on a square foot basis, anchoring the perimeter and weather sealing the stone/concrete interface with Dow 790 Sealant. E14. PRODUCTS E14.1 Anchors used to reinforce existing stone cladding panel anchorage to be 10 mm Helifix stainless steel wall ties, manufactured and supplied by Helifix North America Corporation, 110 Maplecrete Road, Concord, ON, Phone: 1-888-992-9989. E14.2 Anchors to secure steel panels and stone to be Hilti 304 or 316 stainless steel 10 mm Kwik Bolt II's, available from Hilti, 120 Bannister Road, Winnipeg, MB, Phone: 1-800-363-4458. E14.3 Stainless steel short strapping to be Type 302 stainless or better, with a thickness of not less than 16 gauge. E15. EXECUTION (a) REPAIR TYPE A: Anchoring of stainless steel strapping to secure large areas of stone. (i) At areas designated for 16 gauge Type 302 or better stainless steel strapping, 10 mm stainless steel Hilti Kwik Bolt II anchors, complete with 1" diameter stainless steel washer and Hex nut are to be utilized to secure the metal panel to the concrete precast back up. (ii) Using an electric drill, drill a 12 mm hole through the stone and 2" into the precast concrete structural backup. Use non-hammer setting when drilling through the stone only. Ensure new anchors are a minimum of 4" from existing pins. (iii) Supply and install Hilti 10 mm anchors through stone, and set 2" into concrete backup. Anchors to be 304 or 316 stainless steel complete with stainless steel plate washer and hex nut. (iv) Ensure anchors are torqued to manufacturer's specifications. (b) REPAIR TYPE B: Reinforcement of existing in-situ panels using Helifix anchors. (i) The anchors have been based on a minimum capacity of 250 pounds in both tension and shear. At panels designated for reinforcement, one anchor shall be installed for every 2.5 square feet of stone area, but panels designated for reinforcement measuring 1 square foot or larger shall have a minimum of two (2) anchors installed. (ii) Pre-drill a 8 mm entry hole into the Tyndal stone and precast concrete backup to a depth of 3" into the concrete. The hole must be of sufficient depth so that the anchor head will be recessed below the stone surface by 0.25". The hole shall be drilled at 30º above the horizontal. Confirm that drill hole diameter is in accordance with manufacturer's specifications for anchors to be utilized. (iii) Connect insertion tool assembly to a high speed hammer drill to drive Helifix 10 mm anchor through the Tyndal stone into the concrete until the end of the tie is recessed a minimum 1/4" below face of the Tyndal stone. (iv) Patch outer face of stone in accordance with specifications using Dow Corning 790 so that anchor location is concealed. (c) REPAIR TYPE C: Removal of localized areas of stone exhibiting significant fracturing. (i) Using a grinder, cut a fracture plane around the perimeter of the unsound area designated for removal by the structural Contractor.

of 5 (ii) (iii) (iv) Using a cold chisel or electric chipping hammer, remove the Tyndal stone (only) from the unsound area, leaving the underlying concrete unscathed. Install Helifix anchors, one per side per square foot of stone removal. Example, if the stone removal is two foot by two foot, install two Helifix anchors per side of opening. Weather seal stone/concrete interface with cant strip of Dow Corning 790 Sealant. E16. TESTING E16.1 Tensile Testing of Hilti Anchors (a) The Contract Administrators Representative shall have a manufacturer's representative complete no less than five (5) load tests on the specified anchor in the existing substrate prior to commencement of masonry repairs.
