Actually it has much less than half the bending strength. Resistance to
bending is proportional to the cube of the depth.


Admittedly it was 30 years ago and things change, but when I took mechanical
engineering it was proportional to the square. You integrated the material
multiplied by it's distance from the center; that means squared, no?
