    Countertop basin on composite marble top

    I have ceramic basin (half sphere bowl!) to fit onto composite marble top ( 15mm thick), I am wondering if the weight of basin ( about 6/7kg!) will create point load, and potential lead to cracking. Should the worktop have supporting struts to better support basin and help prevent failure??
