(OP)
I am looking for an heat-insulation material that will support a minimum of 20 kN/m2. I am looking at blown glass but was hoping that there may be some other materials about.
Many thanks
Many thanks

We did some of these for Frost Protected Foundation design - it is ASTM C578 and there are various types (can't remember which types are load bearing. ASCE 32-01 doesn't allow Types II and X)
Here are some properties from a manuf. http://www.diversifoam.com/cfproperties.htm

I remember 2 old brands that would do. Styrodur and variants can do that; Vitrisol, that essentially is glass with bubles is rigid as a stone, also will. There must be out there trademarks replicating these materials.

Do the numbers and you will see what I mean.

good point, though by my calculations you get a safety factor of about 5 anyhow.
