Strong ties are more intensive and intimate and are typically described as being more cohesive. They place more substantial expectations on reciprocity. The stronger one's tie to another actor, the stronger ties one has to the given network, and the increased chance that both parties will become connected to everyone in their networks. The stronger the tie connecting two individuals, the more similar they are in terms of socio-cultural characteristics and access to information. Multiple, interconnected strong ties form high density networks (i.e. cliques, families, etc.).
