Comparison-of-compression-and-tensile-strengthsCompressive strength
Ultimate compressive strength, often shortened to compressive strength or compression strength is the capacity of a material or structure to withstand loads tending to reduce size, as opposed to tensile strength, which withstands loads tending to elongate. In other words, compressive strength resists compression (being pushed together), whereas tensile strength resists tension (being pulled apart).
Tensile stress and compressive stress Compressive strength test
Compressive strength is measured on materials, components, and structures.By definition, the ultimate compressive strength of a material is that value of uniaxial compressive stress reached when the material fails completely. The compressive strength is usually obtained experimentally by means of a compressive test.
Tensile Strength
Ultimate tensile strength (UTS), often shortened to tensile strength (TS), ultimate strength, or Ftu within equations, is the capacity of a material or structure to withstand loads tending to elongate, as opposed to compressive strength, which withstands loads tending to reduce size. Ultimate tensile strength is measured by the maximum stress that a material can withstand while being stretched or pulled before breaking.

Comparison of compression and tensile strengths
On compression, the specimen will shorten. The material will tend to spread in the lateral direction and hence increase the cross sectional area.When a specimen of material is loaded in such a way that it extends it is said to be in tension. On the other hand, if the material compresses and shortens it is said to be in compression.

Compressive Strength of Lightweight Aggregate Precast Concrete
For designers, compressive strength is one of the most important engineering properties of Lightweight Aggregate Precast Concrete. It is a standard industrial practice that the Lightweight Aggregate Precast Concrete is classified based on grades. This grade is nothing but the Compressive Strength of the concrete cube or cylinder. Cube or Cylinder samples are usually tested under a compression testing machine to obtain the compressive strength of concrete. (From wikipedia).
