The compressive strength of popsicle sticks typically ranges from about 40 to 70 MPa (megapascals), depending on factors such as wood species, moisture content, and manufacturing quality. This strength makes them suitable for various lightweight structural applications, such as in model building or educational projects. However, they are not designed for heavy loads or structural integrity in larger constructions.
Popsicle sticks, tape or zip ties. Straws if you want

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
Depends on the design of the bridge, and how the sticks are joined. In theory I could build a bridge of popsicle sticks that would support several tons of weight- but it would take a LOT of popsicle sticks.
Yes, the characterisrtic strength of a concrete is the same as the compressive strength

Popsicle sticks are made out of White Birch.
The best tool for cutting popsicle sticks is a sharp utility knife or a pair of scissors.
