ABSTRACT

Purpose: The aim of the study is to measure the flexural strength of glass by proposed
experimental procedures. In addition, step-by-step guidelines for the strength data analysis
using a two-parameter Weibull distribution are given.
Design/methodology/approach: Twelve glass samples of three series were tested by
three-point bending with horizontal ‘3PB(H)’ and vertical ‘3PB(V)’ orientation of samples. A
two-parameter Weibull distribution was applied as an appropriate model to describe three
strength data sets for glass.
Findings: The experiments performed on nominally identical glass specimens revealed
a wide range of flexural strength values, from 39.77 MPa to 171.71 MPa at a loading rate
of not more than 1.05 MPa/s. 3PB(V) samples with vertical orientation demonstrated the
flexural strength similar to that of 3PB(H) samples with horizontal orientation. The Weibull
modulus, which is the measure of flexural strength variation, was between 2.04 and 5.23 at
the coefficient of determination R2 greater than 90% for all series. The characteristic values
of the glass strength, corresponding to the 5% fractile value, in accordance with the test
evaluation procedure were 23.71 MPa, 31.98 MPa, 53.43 MPa for the first, the second and
the third test series, respectively.
Research limitations/implications: The maximum flexural strength of glass highly
depends on the surface condition, and therefore the strength of the glass of different
batches is variable whatever the case may be. For the guaranteed strength of glass used for
structural purposes it is necessary to conduct strength tests of the glass from each batch
under conditions that closely correspond to actual operating conditions.
Practical implications: The obtained strength data is needed for designing glass load
bearing constructions subjected to actual operating conditions (e.g. multilayered glass
plates working on bending under static loading).
Originality/value: A comprehensive overview of the existing methods for glass strength
testing was presented. The features of the used flexural tests and the statistical analysis of
the measured strength data were described. The results may be of a particular interest to
the specialists in the modern design of load bearing glass constructions.
Keywords: Three-point bending test, Glass flexural strength, Two-parameter Weibull distribution
