How to Use This Calculator
- Enter sculpture weight (lbs) and height (in) for center-of-gravity estimation.
- Select mount type (wall, pedestal, floor anchor, or ceiling) and surface type (concrete, wood, drywall).
- Select seismic zone -- zones 3-4 require engineered anchors.
- Review anchors needed, anchor size, design load (lbs), and actual safety factor.
- For public art and high-traffic areas, consult a structural engineer for anchor design approval.
