Compressive Strength Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the compressive strength is:

\[ CS = \frac{CF}{A} \]

Where:

\(CS\) is the Compressive Strength (N/m^2)
\(CF\) is the compressive force (N)
\(A\) is the total area (m^2)

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:

Compressive Force (CF) = 1000 N
Total Area (A) = 0.5 m^2

Using the formula:

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

The Compressive Strength is 2000 N/m².
