Hi All,
We are being asked to evaluate a granite facade unit to confirm it is not overstressed spanning 8ft from support clip to support clip. Could someone direct me to the proper equation to use when evaluating flexural forces on granite stone.
Design Information: Stone unit attached to a 8ft tall steel frame (building entrance sign)
Granite Facade Stone
Width = 8ft
Height = 8ft
Max Span = 8ft, the current proposed connection has the stone spanning 8ft with a clip on each side attaching to the steel tube framing.
Stone Section:
Depth = 96 inches
Thickness = 2 inches
Max Span = 8ft, the current proposed connection has the stone spanning 8ft with a clip on each side
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
