Neither tensile strength nor compressive strength is inherently "stronger." Some materials are stronger in tension; other materials are stronger in compression. For example, rope is much stronger in tension than in compression, but concrete is much stronger in compression than in tension.
What is defferent between Rebar & Tor steel
That all depends on the material For most all metals, tensile strength is stronger by about factor of 1.7 For most metals tensile strength is equal to compression strength For concrete, both comppression strength and shear strength are higher than tensile strength For many composites, tensile strenght is higherthan compression strength
Concrete is stronger than cement.It is composed of aggregates (sand and gravel) and cement; and may be cast with reinforcing bar within it (reinforced concrete). Cement is only a part of concrete. Cement has no tensile strength while concrete has compressive and tensile strength.
Compressive strength of concrete is defined as the concrete cube of 150 mm x 150 mm x 150 mm with specified proportion with 28 days curing.Target mean strength - In order that not more than the specified proportion of test results are likely to fall below the characteristic strength, the concrete mix has to be designed for a somewhat higher target average compressive strength (fck).__fck = fck + t * swhere ___fck is target average compressive strength at 28 days,fck is a characteristic compressive strength at 28 days ands standard deviationt a statistic, depending upon the accepted proportion of low results and the number of tests.
HDPE has higher density therefore it has greater tensile strength
You mean tensile strength. Different steels have different tensile strengths. The way they are made (drawn, cast, forged, etc.) is critically important to the tensile strength. By the way--steel is more important for its stiffness than its tensile strength.

Yes; most forms of concrete have a higher compressive strength than steel, though steel has the highest tensile strength of any commonly used construction material.
The splitting tensile test specimen is subjected to a compressive load. For brittle matrixes such as cementitious products, the compressive strength is typically around an order of magnitude higher than tensile strength. On a microstructure scale, the compressive forces are trying to crush the individual crystallites while the tensile forces only have to fracture the connections between crystallites. The splitting tensile test specimen fails due to the tensile forces generated as it distorts perpendicular to the applied compressive load. In practice, a loading cap on the loading faces of the specimen generates a compressive column in the sample and the true failure is in shear along this compressive column due to the tensile forces. In practicality, this test is also useful for flexural testing of weak composite materials where in both cases a compressive load generates tensile forces that initiate a failure that travels to the neutral axis resulting in shear as well.
yep it is. It has much more tensile strength then steel.
Compressive strength is greater than tensile strength not just in beams, but in metals, concrete, ceramics, ice, and many other materials. Consider a uniaxial test of tension or compression. Because the cross-sectional area of the sample increases with the load, the stress is actually lower than what we would expect from dividing the load by the area of an unloaded sample. The opposite is true for a tension test. The cross section gets smaller with increasing load. Remember this is true regardless of whether the deformations are reversible and elastic or irreversible and plastic. Therefore the nominal compressive strength is greater than the nominal tensile strength even in a perfectly isotropic material.
Concrete is stronger than cement.It is composed of aggregates (sand and gravel) and cement; and may be cast with reinforcing bar within it (reinforced concrete). Cement is only a part of concrete. Cement has no tensile strength while concrete has compressive and tensile strength.
High tensile steel is strong steel. It is 10 times stronger than wood and more than twice the tensile strength of mild steel. High tensile steel is commonly used in highway guardrails.
Yes it is. Concrete has almost no tensile strength on its own, which is why some form of reinforcement is used. Generally re-bar, steel shake, or fiber glass is used to improve and reinforce concrete. Epoxy has a tensile strength of at least 2,400 psi. The compressive strength is almost 10,000 psi. If you are looking for epoxy work in either a residential or commercial setting please visit hooverwells.com
because of how the molecules are arranged, most materials are a lot stronger in tension than in shear. This is not true for all materials, like chalk or concrete, which are much stronger in shear than in tension.
Um NO you temper glass the same as you temper any thing else. You have to heat it up. it cant be cut after it has been temoerd either. Cross section of glass has two areas, compressive strength area and tensile strength area. When glass is heated above 600 degree and fast cooled, the compressive strength area expands. Since glass has more compressive strength than tensile strength, it becomes difficult to break it. Tempered glass, especially toughened glasses are 4 to 5 times stronger than normal glass. These glasses break into small circular fragments. Normal glass breaks into sharp pieces and is a safety hazard.
