Stone Thickness Considerations: Performance, Durability, and Impact Resistance
1. Granite Thickness in Major Renovations
-
Example: Tiananmen Square Renovation
- Granite Thickness: The granite used for the renovation of Tiananmen Square in Beijing was 100mm thick.
- Reason for Thickness: This was due to the high volume of people and the heavy vehicles passing through the square. The thicker granite offers higher bearing capacity and ensures the stone won't be damaged under heavy pressure.
2. Performance of Stone in High-Stress Environments
-
Lugou Bridge Example:
- Despite being stepped on by horseshoes and showing deep holes on its surface, the stone on the bridge deck remains undamaged. This illustrates the high bearing capacity and durability of the stone in such stressful conditions.
3. Weak Impact Resistance in Thin Stone Slabs
-
Impact Resistance:
- Thicker slabs generally have stronger impact resistance, while thin slabs tend to have weaker impact resistance.
- Thin stones are more vulnerable to damage, especially under external force.
4. Deformation and Warping of Thin Stone Slabs
-
Problem with Thin Artificial Granite Slabs:
- Deformation and warping are common issues with thin artificial granite slabs, particularly in large, long, and narrow products.
- Thickness Issue: Many manufacturers use 16.5mm thick slabs to reduce costs, but this compromises flexural strength, leading to greater susceptibility to deformation and warping.
-
Solution:
- The recommended thickness for artificial granite floor slabs is 20mm. This thickness ensures adequate strength and prevents issues like deformation and warping.
- Manufacturer Guidelines: Some manufacturers specify a 20mm thickness as a standard for their granite products to avoid quality problems.
5. Conclusion: Importance of Proper Thickness for Durability
- Thicker slabs offer better bearing capacity, impact resistance, and durability.
- Thin slabs, while cheaper, are prone to deformation and warping, particularly in large-sized applications.
- Recommended Thickness: For better performance and longevity, slabs, especially those used in flooring, should ideally be 20mm thick.
