Compressive strength is a measure of a material’s ability to resist failure under compressive loads, or “squeezing” forces. Compressive strength testing is essential for quality control in the manufacturing process, as well as for safety and performance evaluations of completed structures. Compressive Strength: Plastic vs. Concrete The compressive strength of concrete is derived from a – Read the full article →
