You look at "per cm sq" load capacity of the material and the cross section of it you need. All this after finding out in which direcion the load with bend your structure of course Which answers Imagine taking a test where you are asked to calculate (to the second decimal point) the weight a particular slab in a particular structure can bear in particular conditions Smart***.
