A Guide to Structural Stone

Over the last few years, Stone Federation has been an integral part of the shift in the conversation around the structural use of natural stone, and in particular, the impressive carbon savings that can be made by using stone in this way. 

In light of this, Stone Federation formed a Structural Stone Working Group that has brought together some of the leading experts on this use of stone.  The group is exploring the design typologies, systems and testing required to bring this use of stone into a more mainstream acceptance.

We are delighted to announce the launch of our purpose paper for A Guide to Structural Stone.

This introductory document sets the context for the project and provides a series of definitions to help deliver clarity around the different building types that come under the banner of structural stone.

A Guide to Structural Stone is designed to be an ever-evolving library of resources equipping architects, structural engineers and clients with the information and inspiration required.

Please note that our publications are not available to companies who could be members of Stone Federation but are not.
