Hello,
I'm working on a design for an architectural structure, and I am choosing the material for the design. Are there any resources that will tell me the breaking point for like "1-inch" of material X. I need something that can support the weight of a car.
Thanks!

It's a little more complicated than that.

I would suggest that you have your ideas reviewed by a structural engineer.
