Development of System of Exterior Wall Large Tile Finishing by Using Three-Dimensional Knitted Fabric

Abstract

Recently building of exterior wall large tile finishing are increasing from design requirement, safe and secure construction finishing tecnology of large tile is heavier than ordinary tile is recommended. In conventional method, the method that tack steel wire fixed to the back of tile on wall is popular as a preventive measure of spalling tile. But this method is more inefficient than mortar rendering method. Therefore we proposed new methodthat prevent from spalling tile using three-dimensional knitted fabric. And this method is not necesarry to tack steel wire. We verified adhesive durability by accelated weathering and prevention from spailling tile with out-of-plane deformation. In additon, we confirmed that this method is able to prevent from spalling tile during serve earthquakes by seismic test.
