No its just the 8 bricks in the middle of the frameconstruction where the
stand (feet) is mounted. All the weight from the ship is resting on those
two stands and offcourse the bricks where those stands are mounted will get
all the tension.
It can be avoided by making the middle framebeam thicker, I think.

Is it all the 1x16's in the "frame" or are certain one's under more
stress ?  The reason I ask is that, I'm prototyping some simple technic
beams in aluminium and steel to fix this and I wonder how many I'll need
to make...

After seeing a note here on Lugnet and some pictures of a few bendt 1x16
Technic bricks from a ISD, I decided to take apart my Imperial Star
Destroyer (LEGO #10030) too, before any bricks was getting bendt. But I • was
a little too late. I now have 8 bricks that is bendt, 4 of them is just
sligthly bendt and its hardly noticable. But the other 4 bricks is bendt
more, there is a gap of about 1-1.5mm when I lay them on a flat surface.
