Calculating Load Capacity of 96"x48"x6" EPS Foam Board
Thank you for the response. I had meant point load as in very small point, like the ball of a foot, because I thought people might get hung up on the brittle nature of the foams surface. Basically I need to be able to walk over the panel without it bending or breaking. Yes, I figured that the...- dustman

Calculating Load Capacity of 96"x48"x6" EPS Foam Board
I need to figure out how much weight a 96"x48"x6" EPS foam board can hold when laid flat and supported at both ends(96" span). Tensile psi: 92. Compressive psi: 52. I believe these figures are for 10 percent deformation. I would like to support temporary 200lb loads at any point on the span...- dustman
