| 11. | Compressive strength is a key value for design of structures.
|
| 12. | Concrete can be formulated with high compressive strength, but always has lower tensile strength.
|
| 13. | For its density, it also has incredible compressive strength.
|
| 14. | The compressive strength of a concrete is determined by taking standard molded, standard-cured cylinder samples.
|
| 15. | But concrete is far weaker in tension than in compression-typically just one-tenth of its compressive strength.
|
| 16. | In this application, the confinement of the CFRP wrap enhances the compressive strength of the concrete.
|
| 17. | There's compressive strength, tensile strength, shear strength, contribs 00 : 55, 2 April 2009 ( UTC)
|
| 18. | Loading a structural element or specimen will increase the compressive stress until it reaches its compressive strength.
|
| 19. | :: Concrete is usually used for its compressive strength while rebar ( steel ) has tensile strength.
|
| 20. | In steel submarines this isn't a problem, as the metal's tensile and compressive strength are about equal.
