Thanks for the suggestion. It's not as much shrinkage as it is design. Any impact has a cone shaped shock wave. Thicker steel would provide a larger surface area for the load once it hits the mortar. I was curious how well thin metal would work and I found out.

Is there a utilization plan for the remnants of the data point?

I'll salvage what I can and throw the rest away, if that's what you mean. I still have great faith in mortar and concrete as a stiffener or backing, it just has to be used within its capabilities. Every application has different requirements, so consideration of limitations has to be made. I'm in the process of yet another project involving concrete, but I'll start another thread for that.
