What could be causing the marble to warp?

We have a building where 30mm Bianco Carrara panels were install mechanically on an arch about 20 years ago. There is a gap of about ½" between the concrete wall and the marble. The contractor caulked the perimeter of the marble arch some years after the installation. The wall faces west and is expose to the heat of the sun in the afternoon. We are considering replacing the arch to a cost of about $ 50,000 because of warping in the panels. What could be causing the marble to warp, and if we have them replaced, will we have the same problem again? Please let us know.

Thank You.
Josemaria.
