Designation:C1354/C1354M15Standard Test Method forStrength of Individual Stone Anchorages in DimensionStone1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C1354/C1354M;the number immediately following the designation indicates theyear of original adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of lastreapproval.A superscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This test method provides procedures for determiningthe ultimate strength of an assembly consisting of stone withmechanical anchor(anchorage).Load is applied,separately,perpendicular to the surface of the panel and parallel to thesurface of the panel.This test is intended to represent theinteraction of the anchor with the stone panel.However,influence of the backup structure on the strength of theassemblies is not included.1.2 This test method is applicable to stone panels supportedby mechanical anchors.1.3 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard.The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents;therefore,eachsystem shall be used independently of the other.Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2C1242 Guide for Selection,Design,and Installation ofDimension Stone Attachment SystemsC1799 Guide to Dimension Stone Test Specimen Samplingand PreparationE4 Practices for Force Verification of Testing MachinesE575 Practice for Reporting Data from Structural Tests ofBuilding Constructions,Elements,Connections,and As-semblies3.Terminology3.1 Definitions:3.1.1 anchor,nin general,a metal shape inserted into aslot or hole in the stone panel that provides for the transfer ofloads from the stone to the building structure,either directly orthrough an intermediate structure.3.1.2 anchorage,nassembly consisting of a stone panelwith a mechanical anchor.3.1.3 panel,ncut stone with large face dimensions inrelation to its thickness,for placement in a building structure orframe assembly.4.Summary of Test Method4.1 Test specimens consisting of a stone panel sample and amechanical anchor are fabricated in the same manner and ofthe same materials as their intended construction uses.Themechanical anchor is connected to a test support.A test load isapplied perpendicular or parallel to the face of the stone panel.The test load is applied gradually using a calibrated testmachine;load is increased until the stone or the mechanicalanchor fails.4.2 The load at failure and mode of failure of each testspecimen is observed and recorded.The test as described aboveis repeated five times for each combination of stone and anchorto be tested and for each direction of load to be tested.5.Significance and Use5.1 This test method is intended to provide informationfrom which applicable design data can be determined for agiven anchor used to support a dimension stone panel.Thestrength of a limited length of anchor may be related to a longerlength of support when the flexibility of the support is properlyconsidered by the designer.Refer to Guide C1242.6.Testing Machine6.1 The testing machine shall conform to the requirementsof Practices E4.6.2 The load from the testing machine shall be appliedthrough appropriate devices(a lubricated ball-and-socket or a1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee C18 onDimension Stone and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee C18.01 on TestMethodsCurrent edition approved May 1,2015.Published July 2015.Originally approvedin 1996.Last previous edition approved in 2009 as C135409.DOI:10.1520/C1354_C1354M-15.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 lubricated universal joint)to apply direct tension to the testspecimen without bending.7.Support Frame and Loading Device7.1 The support frame(excluding the anchor to be tested)shall have sufficient strength to not yield while supportingmaximum applied load.In addition,the support frame shall besufficiently stiff to limit deflection to less than 0.04 in.1 mmat maximum test load and to limit rotation to less than 2.7.2 For load perpendicular to the surface of the stone panel:7.2.1 A rubber pad or a setting gypsum bed shall be usedbetween the stone and the loading or restraint surface to avoidconcentration of stress in the surface of the stone sample.7.2.2 A frame t
