Intact Limestone can have a uniaxial compressive strength ranging from:
15 MPa - 290 MPa.A,B
However the following should be noted:
Limestone is a natural earth material and so significant variability in strength and stiffness properties may occur.
As such ranges of values are commonly quoted for the strength of rock and other geotechnical materials. Ideally therefore the user would have access to specific lab test data for the rock type in question.
Also it is important to note that intact rock strengths require scaling for use in rock engineering as rock masses are usually fractured and discontinuous bodies whose behaviour is often controlled by the shear strength of the discontinuities rather than the intact strength properties of the rock. Considerable care should therefore be taken when attempting to apply intact rock strength parameters derived in the laboratory for use in rock mass engineering design.

The compressive strength of natural rubber is 30MPa.
The compressive strength of 7 days shall be about 70% of the 28-days compressive strength. If your compressive strength at 28-days is 25 MPa, then the 7-days compressive strength expected to be (0.70X25MPa)=17.5 MPa Regards, Sami
The compressive strength of bricks varies depending on the type of bricks and what they are used for. The compressive strength of conventional red bricks is 40 to 65 Kg/cm2. In comparison, flyash bricks have a compressive strength of 70 to 120 Kg/cm2.
Compressive strength measures the largest compression force the material can withstand before it loses its shape or fails.
The compressive strength of Phosphor Bronze is directly proportional to the tensile strength, For example 1/2 hard phosphor bronze has a Tensile Strength of 60 to 75 ksi and a Yield Strength of 45 to 70. For typical engineering calculations, the compressive strength can be considered equal to the yield strength.

Yes, the characterisrtic strength of a concrete is the same as the compressive strength
the compressive strength can be converted in to flexural strength by following formula of IS code 456-2000fcr=0.7^/- fck fcr= flexural strength fck= characteristic compressive strength in N/mm2
A compressive force is a type of external force that acts to compress or squeeze an object, while compressive strength is a material property that quantifies how much compressive force a material can withstand before it fails. Compressive force is the cause, while compressive strength is the measure of resistance.
The compressive strength of bricks varies depending on the type of bricks and what they are used for. The compressive strength of conventional red bricks is 40 to 65 Kg/cm2. In comparison, flyash bricks have a compressive strength of 70 to 120 Kg/cm2.
Crushing strength refers to the maximum force a material can withstand before failing under compressive loads, while compressive strength is the maximum compressive stress a material can withstand before failing. Essentially, crushing strength is more related to the actual force applied, while compressive strength is more related to stress levels within the material.
Compressive strength measures the largest compression force the material can withstand before it loses its shape or fails.
Minimum Compressive strength of first class brick is 10.5 MPa
The compressive strength of Phosphor Bronze is directly proportional to the tensile strength, For example 1/2 hard phosphor bronze has a Tensile Strength of 60 to 75 ksi and a Yield Strength of 45 to 70. For typical engineering calculations, the compressive strength can be considered equal to the yield strength.
The compressive stress allowed is 25N/mm2. However, the strength of a concrete element depends on the arrangement of loads. For compression, the element might buckle before it reaches its compressive stress.
