Abstract

It is established that the lateral bending strength of sheet glass produced by the float method depends on the position of its float-side with respect to the load applied. If the side contacting tin (the float-side) in bending is in the tension zone, the strength of the glass on the average decreases by 40% compared to its strength when the float-side is in the compression zone. This phenomenon has to be taken into account in designing light-transmitting structures and three-layer glass.
