  1. 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 ($\text{psi}$).
    | Designation | Typical Compressive Strength ($\text{MPa}$) | Primary Application | Characteristic Limitation |
  2. 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 |
