Introduction
Cladding and facing xing division perform an
important role among building construction projects.

Fixing anchor whether they are for pre-cast concrete,
marble, granite, limestone, sandstone, metal or other
cladding can provide an optimized solution for ease of
application and structural stability.
MMICO Cladding xing systems are manufactured and
supplied in various materials according to the required
system to suit.
The catalogue shows the various types with their
physical and mechanical characteristics, and for situations
where a special xing is required.
03
Principles for the Fixing of Building Cladding
Fixing systems for building claddings are composed
of several elements (angles, expansion bolts, screws,
nuts, washers, etc), each of which shall present the
appropriate mechanical features in respect to the
requirements posed by the specic project .
Any type of cladding, once xed, is subject to two primary
types of load:
- The permanent load (the dead load), due to the weight of the
cladding itself;
- The variable load (applied loads), due to the wind, thermal
expansions, seismic motions, etc.
Two fundamental types of xing systems result:
-Load-bearing xing: to support the permanent load and the vertical
components of the variable loads.
-Restraining xing: to support the horizontal components of the
variable loads.
Load-bearing xing are usually composed by angles (of adequate
dimensions), rmly xed to the building by the opportunely selected
anchoring element complete with expansion anchors and relative
bolts.
04
Restraining xings instead, serve to maintain the
slabs in the positions specied by the project design.
Thanks to the system of adjustment with which they
are equipped, the absence of perfect verticality in the
external surfaces may be easily overcome.
In this case, the set is generally composed of an
angle more-contained dimensions in respect
to those employed in the load bearing xings,
and an expansion bolt which, with the use of a
threaded stud or bolt, permits the adjustment
of the horizontal positioning of the angles, thus
obtaining the perfect verticality of the cladding.
Therefore, with the correct design, the
restraining xing should not be subject to
permanent loads, but will be able to withstand
the periodical variable loads due, for example,
to the pressures or depressions done by the
wind or seismic motion.
05
Metals Used In xing systems
The metals used for the realization of the various components comprising
the xing system set shall possess special features which, in addition to
assuring a satisfactory mechanical resistance, shall also be immune to
the varying forms of corrosion, in order to withstand both the static and
dynamic load conditions to which they are subject throughout installation
and the harmful atmospheric conditions which may arise as well, with
extreme sturdiness and security. Particular attention shall be dedicated
to the phenomenon of galvanic corrosion, which comes about whenever a
more noble metal is placed into direct contact with another metal in the
presence of an electrolyte (water containing salts, acids or substances
deriving from combustion). Under such conditions, a chemical reaction
takes place which tends to damage the less noble metal. Galvanic corrosion
is particularly dangerous whenever the mass of the noble metal is inferior
to that of the more noble metal. The ratio between these two masses, the
direct-contact surface area, and the difference in potential between the two
metals, determine the degree of corrosion or deterioration. For this reason,
the material most commonly-advised for the realization of a complete set
of xings is Stainless steel AISI 304 which, in addition to guaranteeing
optimum mechanical resistance features, is suited to satisfactory
resistance even in particularly harsh environmental surroundings. Several
combinations of different metals may be acceptable provided that the
designer is aware of the specic environmental conditions, and that the
combination is compatible with the same.
06
Design criteria
Design for the supporting structures of buildings claddings
should be based on some basic principles :
a) The shape and the material of the structure to which the cladding is to
be anchored (concrete, hollow brick, etc).
b) The shape and the material of the facing to be anchored.
D = thickness
B = Width
H = Height
Wall structure
D = thickness of stone panel
C= width of air space behind
I = thickness of thermal insulation
A = projection of panel anchor
c) The forces to which the building itself may be subject (winds of
particular intensity, seismic activity, etc);
d) The environmental surroundings in which the building is located,
paying particular attention harmful atmospheric conditions which may
be found in industrial, marine or other areas.
e) Arrangement of panel anchor in vertical or horizontal joint.

The awareness and a complete analysis of these factors is a necessary
condition for the correct planning, in order to guarantee the highest
safety levels possible.
07
For any cladding with natural-stone panels, in addition
to existing building separation joints there shall be
horizontal and vertical expansion joints. This applies also
to continuous faced strips such as column and parapet
claddings. Horizontal expansion joints are provided in
each storey, usually at the level of the underside of the
ceiling. Expansion joints shall be provided also in outer
and inner ceiling areas. Vertical expansion joints shall not
be more than 6m apart.
Expansion joints in the facing
Anchor Pins
a)The load capacity of the anchor pin does
not have to be proved if it is at least 4mm in
diameter; the width of the panel joint shall not
be more than 10mm and the load on each half-
pin not more than 750N. For a joint of width
more than 10mm and up to 15mm, an anchor
pin 6mm thick is used
b) The bonding depth for the anchor pin into
the panel is at least 25mm and at least 35mm
for soft stone. The pin drill holes in the panels
shall be 5mm deeper than the bond length of the
anchor pins.
c) The diameter of the anchor pin hole is drilled
3 to 4mm wider than the pin diameter.
d)If splitting takes place when the pin holes are
being drilled, the hole shall be re-drilled in a
suitable place.
e) The anchor pin holes should be lled with ne
mortar, or some other suitable ller, before the
anchor pins are inserted.
08
Sliding sleeves
a) The function of sliding sleeves is to
compensate for temperature-induced
expansion of the natural-stone panels.
b) There shall be a clear space of at least
2mm on one side (sliding sleeve-side) in
the panel joint.
c) The sliding sleeves should be inserted
in the anchor pin holes together with
suitable mortar before the natural-stone
panels are mounted.
The dry xing Installation method
The principle installation phases of a set of xings for cladding is
represented as follows:
1) Accurately locate the position of the drilling hole.
2) Drill a hole of the required depth and diameter.)
3) Insert the expansion bolt into the hole and cause it to expand by
screwing down the nut A.
4) To regulate the distance, from the wall to the angle, rotate the screw
B, while keeping the nut A locked tightly in position. If necessary, to
facilitate the operation, loosen the nut A, which will be re-tightened at the
end of the operation.
5) Tighten the lock-nut C for the nal locking of the angle in the desired
position.
6) Insert the pin in the angle to match the hole in the cladding slab.

Production Range
The problems inherent in the xing of cladding and their respective
solutions are confronted by MMICO/Angle through either of two well-
distinct approaches:
A) Standard xing solutions:
Which have been done in response to the most representative and
demanded dimensional characteristics. These products come to be
illustrated in the chapter Standard Types
B) Special xing solutions
for which MMICO ANGLE has organized a staff of specialized
technicians, in grade to provide a series of services at the complete
disposal of the client. For greater detail, we shall illustrate these
additional services to which our clients may avail themselves,
as follow:
- Consultant service
- Designing service
- Testing service
- Quality control service
- Installation service
MMICO/Angle puts its entire technical staff specialized in xing
systems, at the complete disposal of the client, whenever indications
regarding the most opportune decisions and methods to be adopted
for the correct realization of any cladding xing project are required.
In addition, upon the request of the client, technical visits may
be effected in the work yard, for the purposes of making realistic
estimates, providing technical advice prior to construction, or for
a follow-up in regard to the correct utilization of the advised xing
systems.
MMICO/ANGLE can effect a performance study and the complete
designing of the most opportune xing system for the cladding of
buildings with marble facings, or facings of other materials.
The Design Department, after having received the essential

Testing Service
MMICO also grants particular importance to this structure, without which
it would be difcult to make and manage an archive of knowledge that
allows the preparation of new and advanced technical solutions to be
subsequently applied for the perfection and maximum reliability of each
specic project.
In order to attain this aim, an effective system of collaboration has
been evolved with testing centers. In fact, MMICO is able to provide the
documentation belonging to the trial and testing of its own products,
whenever requested by interested parties.
Quality control Services
Quality represents one of the most essential characteristics of the nished
product for MMICO. In accordance with this concept, the company
invests energy, which results in additional advantages for the client.
Control operations effected upon the raw material, upon the half- nished
work-piece, and further verications upon the nished product, mean
guarantees in regard to the component materials, exact conformity with
the desired dimensional features , and the faultless realization of even the
smallest details
Installation Service
MMICO is also ready to provide assistance service and to carry out
the laying of the building cladding with specialized personnel. Our

Interim Guide
To The Design of stainless steel xing
2.Materials grades and properties
Table 1
1.Intorodution
Stainless steel components are widely used for the support and xing of
cladding panels to buildings. The long term durability and Corrosion
resistance of stainless steel makes it ideally suited to this application where
there is a likelihood of a corrosive working environment for the cavity
xings.

BS 449, The Structural use of steel in building, contains rules for the
application of stainless steel bolts and the calculation of their maximum
working stresses. The use of stainless steel bolts and the calculation of their
maximum working stresses. The use of Stainless steel in other forms is not,
however, covered in this or any other British Standard.
It may be noted that whereas BS 449 is based on a permissible stress
approach, revised or new codes, such as BS 5950 which is to eventually
replace BS 449, are written in terms of limit states. Thus the design of
stainless steel components will also be to limit state principles.
The following grades of stainless steel are recommended for xing
applications.
2.1 Plate, sheet & strip
The relevant British Standards for the material are:
BS 1449 : Part 2: 1983 and BS 1501: Part 3: 1973

Table 4
The Hi-proof stainless steels produced to BS 1501: Part 3: 1973
have increased strengths due to the inclusion of nitrogen. Values
for hi-proof steels are shown in the standard in terms of UTS and
1% proof stress. Corresponding values for 0.2% proof stress are
approximately 30% higher than material to BS 1449.
Bolts of the austenitic type are recommended for xing purposes the
following strengths are shown in BS 6105: 1981, for austenitic bolts:
The permissible stress levels for stainless steel bolts can be calculated in
accordance with clause 50 in BS 449 for bolts in clearance holes.
