  • materjali tugevusnäitaja – tugevuspiir survel; pinge, mis vastab purunemisele eelnenud suurimale koormusele survel (vrd tõmbetugevus)
  • the maximum compressive stress that a material is capable of developing, based on original area of cross section (compare: tensile strength)

  • survetugevus on materjali või struktuuri võime taluda koormusi, mis kipuvad mõõdet vähendama (erinevalt tõmbetugevusest, mis talub pikenevaid koormusi)
  • 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)
survetugevus
Usage examples
  • Survetugevus on betooni tähtsaim omadust iseloomustav suurus, sest ehituses kasutataksegi betooni just survejõudude vastuvõtmiseks.
