What (who) is compressive strength - definition
Compressive strength
CAPACITY OF A MATERIAL OR STRUCTURE TO WITHSTAND LOADS TENDING TO REDUCE SIZE, WHICH WITHSTANDS LOADS TENDING TO ELONGATE
Compression strength; Compressional strength; Compressive strength test; Crushing strength; Compressive strengths; Compressive Strength Test; Ultimate compressive strength
In mechanics, 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).

¦ noun the resistance of a material to breaking under compression. Compare with tensile strength.
Physical strength
MEASURE OF A HUMAN'S EXERTION OF FORCE ON PHYSICAL OBJECTS
Muscular strength; Arm strength; Muscular Strength
Physical strength is the measure of a human's exertion of force on physical objects. Increasing physical strength is the goal of strength training.
