Compressive strengths are usually reported in relationship to a specific technical standard. Concrete and ceramics typically have much higher compressive strengths than those with high tensile strengths. Composite materials, such as glass fiber epoxy matrix composite, tend to have higher tensile strengths than compressive strengths.

Concrete strength of 25N/mm2 should be chosen over 30N/mm2, since all the average compressive strengths from the 7day to the 28day did not meet the required target strength of 30N/mm2. Both crushed granite and quartzite aggregates should not be encouraged for producing concrete with a mix ratio 1:2:3 of strength 30N/mm2, but rather 25N/mm2.
