Zusammenfassung:	A review of literature pertaining to the effects of moisture on the strength of glass fibers is presented in three (3) sections. The research on massive glass has been abstracted to provide background and general knowledge of the moisture effect. The limited information on uncoated glass fibers verifies at very high stresses the predictions based on massive glass studies and further elucidates the degradation mechanisms associated with environmental moisture. The literature on coated fibers discloses the minimal technical advances which have been made to retain the very high intrinsic strength of the fiber, particularly in protection from the strength-degrading effects of moisture.
