Question

Increasing a material’s ultimate compressive strength makes it less likely to crush under its own weight (assuming all other things equal). true or false

Answer 1

Compressive strength of the material is the strength of the material which helps it to get collected together into its small size.

Or in other words it defines the capacity of the material to withstand the laod.

By increasing the compressive strength, the ability of the material to handle the more load is more and getting crushed is less.

Thus, the correct answer is true.
