How strong is bone?

Bone is one of the strongest materials found in nature. One cubic inch of bone can withstand loads of at least 19,000 pounds (8,626 kilograms), which is approximately the weight of five standard-size pickup trucks. This is roughly four times the strength of concrete. Bone’s resistance to load is equal to that of aluminum and light steel. Ounce for ounce, bone is actually stronger than steel and reinforced concrete since steel bars of comparable size would weigh four or five times as much as bone.
