Water Can Bend Steel — The 207 MPa Freeze Force Explained

Water freezes. It expands by 9%.

In a confined space, that expansion generates up to 207 megapascals
of pressure — the equivalent of two elephants standing on a postage stamp.

Ancient stone-cutters used this force to split granite.
Modern engineers battle it every winter inside pipes and infrastructure.
