Question:

What is the compressive strength of limestone?

What is the compressive strength of limestone?

Answer:

The compressive strength is 60-140MPa, and the compressive strength is 70-120MPa when it is perpendicular to the bedding direction
Compressive strength: Code BC, refers to the strength of the external pressure limit. The formula is p=P/A, where p is the compressive strength, how many pounds per square inch (PSI), the number of kilograms per square centimeter, P pressure, in pounds, kg, A section area in square centimeters, square inch units.
Compressive strength of limestone:Perpendicular to the bedding direction, the compressive strength is 60-140MPa;Parallel to the bedding direction, the compressive strength is 70-120MPa.
