Course Objective

The aim of this course is to teach students natural stone installation techniques used in all kinds of structures. It is aimed to make what is learnt permanent with applications. Modern methods used in the cladding of buildings with natural stones; mortared method, anchored method and sand laying methods will be presented, the necessary pre-treatments and building materials for these methods will be recognised.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   To be able to do natural stone cladding types, project reading, quantity surveying and levelling methods.
2   To be able to define mortar coating method and hand tools and building materials used in the method.
3   To be able to interpret anchored installation, anchorage elements and attachment forms, functions and advantages of the system.
4   To be able to apply anchored installation methods; Mortar System, Dubelli System and Profiled System.
5   To be able to define sand laying methods and stone laying criteria.
6   To be able to calculate the cost of stone, labour and necessary materials for all paving methods.
