Question
Chapter 13, Problem 1RQ
To determine
The main use of stone in the building construction.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 1RQ
Stones are mainly used as a veneer or facing which reduces the weight of building.
Explanation of Solution
Stone is rock that is quarried and shaped to size for construction. They were initially used for the construction of load-bearing walls but now a days it is used as a veneer or facing, that significantly reduces the weight of the building while enabling a designer to take advantage of the aesthetics of a stone as a finish material.
