Load Distribution from slab to surrounding beam in the case of STONE SLAB

As per IS 456 2000, fig 7, we get the slab load that is distributed to the surrounding beam.. In case if the whole structure is made entirely using stone (granite.. like in the hindu temples) , how can I assume the slab load distribution to the surrounding beams ??

    Sorry Guru. Can you be more elaborate? And IS 456 is used for concrete structures. Please see this post that you have made earlier #-Link-Snipped-#. Please post the answer if you come to know.

    I'd like to know if i can use the same load distribution (as in concrete structures IS 456) .. to the granite structure ?? is it safe to make that assumption?
