The compressive strength of concrete is very important, as it is used more often in compression than in any other way. It is rather difficult to give average values of the compressive strength of concrete, as it is dependent on so many factors.The available aggregates are so varied, and the methods of mixing and manipulation so different, that tests must be studied before any conclusions can
