Crushing Strength. Sometimes known as compression strength parallel to the grain, this is a measurement of the wood's maximum crushing strength when weight is applied to the ends of the wood (compression is parallel to the grain). This number is a good indicator of the wood's strength in applications such as deck posts, chair legs, or other ...

Crushing strength of stone: It is defined as load per unit area at which stone starts cracking. It depends on: 1. The texture of stone ensures whether the stone is rough or smooth hence friction between the surface of the stone and the CTM machine depends on the texture and hence crushing strength of stone also depends on texture. 2.
