Some Experiments on the Transverse Breaking Strain of Plate Glass
Having occasion some three months ago to determine the pressure which plate glass windows would safely withstand when exposed to strong winds, I consulted numerous tables to ascertain what had been recorded as determined transverse strength. Only two or three such records were found and these were discordant; naturally so from the nature of the material. I resolved therefore that I would subject. specimens of the glass to be used in the structure to the test. The specimens tried came from Holland. They were of a uniform length of 20 inches, and a width of 2 inches, and the thickness varied as shown in the table.
