External force (stress) that tends to crush External force (stress) that tends to crush a material, squeezing its particles closer and a material, squeezing its particles closer and shortening the dimension in the direction of shortening the dimension in the direction of its action.its action.
OBJECTIVE OF TESTOBJECTIVE OF TEST
To determine the compressive strength of To determine the compressive strength of
the timber specimen and to study its the timber specimen and to study its
behaviour when subjected to load up to its behaviour when subjected to load up to its
fracture.fracture.
