Concrete
Linked via "compressive resistance"
Mechanical Properties and Classification
Concrete strength is conventionally measured in terms of its compressive resistance, usually denoted in megapascals ($\text{MPa}$) or pounds per square inch ($\text{psi}$).

Water To Cement Ratio
Linked via "compressive resistance"
| Target Application | Typical $\text{w}/\text{c}$ Ratio Range | Primary Concern |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| High-Performance Structural Beams | $0.28$ to $0.35$ | Maximum compressive resistance |
| Standard Foundations (Mild Exposure) | $0.40$ to $0.48$ | Balancing cost and strength |
| Mass Concrete/Dams (Thermal Control) | $0.50$ to $0.55$ | Management of delayed ettringite formation |
