= Strength of glass
{wiki=Strength_of_glass}
The strength of glass refers to its ability to withstand external forces without breaking or deforming. It is an important property of glass and can be characterized in several ways, including: 1. **Tensile Strength**: This is the maximum amount of tensile (pulling or stretching) stress that glass can withstand before failing. Glass typically has high compressive strength but relatively low tensile strength, making it more susceptible to breakage under tension.
