Concrete core Test standard: IS 516:1959 Compressive Strength Definition: Compressive strength is the ability of material or structure to carry the loads on its surface without any crack or deflection. A material under compression tends to reduce the size, while in tension, size elongates. Objective: To determine the compressive strength of concrete cores, …
