    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...

    Calculating Load Capacity of 96"x48"x6" EPS Foam Board
