Compression joint is a term typically used in construction. It's a bell and spigot joint that becomes watertight when the spigot is pressed into a compression gasket in the bell.

Is it tension or compression that strengthens an arch that supports the load?
compression: the keystone in particular is under rather high compression forces.
The difference between contraction joint and construction joint?
A construction joint in concrete jobs is a joint where a fully set and hard concrete joins a fresh concrete to make a joint. Normally, cracks would occur at this joint because concrete was not cast monolithic. A contraction joint is joint between two concrete edges so formed which allows minute movement between the two edges caused by heat or some other external forces. Usually, contraction joints are also referred to as expansion joints.
What is the difference between pin joint and hinged joint?
in pin joint the linkages are free to move relative to one another angularly, whereas in hinge joint, one linkage is fixed and the other is free to move in angular direction.
What is the purpose of compression reinforcement in beams?
Steel is stronger than concrete. By adding some reinforcement in the compression zone of a beam, it's bending strength can be increased without increasing the size of the beam. The steel increases the compression strength, while the concrete prevents the slender steel bars from buckling.

What is meant by the compression ratio of a combustion engine?
The compression ratio of a combustion engine is the relationship of the largest and smallest capacities of the combustion chamber. A higher compression ratio is advantageous because the engine operates more efficiently, extracting more mechanical energy from the fuel. Most gasoline-powered engines have a compression ratio of around 10:1.
