What is Compressive strength?
'''Compressive strength''' measures the pushing [[Force (physics)|force]] that one needs to break a [[material]]. When the limit of compressive strength is reached, materials are crushed. [[Concrete]] can be made to have high compressive strength e.g. many concrete floors have compressive strength of 3000 p.s.i.. ==Related pages== *[[Tensile strength]] *[[Physical compression|Compression]] *[[Compressive stress]] *[[Deformation]] *[[Strength of materials]] {{sci-stub}} [[Category:Materials science]]
