What is Compressive Strength?

Compressive strength is the capacity of a material or structure to withstand loads tending to reduce size. It is measured by the maximum stress that a material can withstand under crushing load. This property is crucial in construction and engineering to ensure the integrity and durability of materials used.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ CS = \frac{1000}{0.5} = 2000 \text{ N/m}^2 \]

The Compressive Strength is 2000 N/m².
