Dimension Stone Anchorage Theory, Practice & Components is the newest technical bulletin available online from the Marble Institute of America (MIA).



The 12-page publication gives some general insight on how stone anchorage devices interface with stone panels and the building structure. Common anchorage devices are discussed, as well as some guidance on appropriae anchor device-selections in particular situations.



"MIA Technical Bulletins provide an ongoing educational resource to our members and the design community at large," said Brett Rugo, MIA president. "The bulletins create and maintain industry recognition of MIA members as reliable, fully informed sources of natural stone technical products and their uses."



"The topics for future technical bulletins will vary covering such subjects as joint sealant design use, air barriers, insulation, crack isolation products, portland cement, flashing designs, etc," said Chuck Muehlbauer, MIA technical director. "They will include basic information and will clarify and detail these sometimes troublesome and confusing subjects."
