    Strength study on soda-lime-silicate-toughened glass
    (Wydawnictwa AGH, 2015) Ładecki, Bogusław
    Toughened soda-lime-silicate glass is a popular material widely used in construction due to its very good functional properties, characterized by its high strength, safety in use, fire resistance, and good thermal insulation. In this study, tests were conducted to describe the dependence between the bending strength of ESG-toughened float glass and the thickness of the sample, state of the sample edge, and application of security film. Tests were also conducted on the influence of the placement of openings needed for mounting glass screens used to secure display cases and other objects of a similar nature. The information obtained was used to design glass security screens and a new type of display case, a closed cassette with a glass screen intended for use in protecting works of art from acts of vandalism and the destructive influence of environmental conditions.
