Compressive Strength of Common Construction Materials

Understanding the compressive strength of construction materials is crucial for ensuring the safety and stability of structures, as it helps engineers and architects design buildings and infrastructure that can support the expected loads without failure.

The following table provides a curated list of compressive strength values for different construction materials at standard room temperature (approximately 20°C or 68°F).
