Compressive Strength

The maximum stress that masonry can withstand under compression before failure, typically measured in pounds per square inch (psi) or megapascals (MPa). Compressive strength depends on the strength of individual units, mortar, and the bond between them. This property is critical for structural design and load-bearing capacity calculations.
