(3) Normal concrete is more affected by coarse aggregate crushing than high-strength concrete. The compressive strength of normal concrete can be reduced significantly with less crushable coarse aggregates. (4) Coarse aggregate crushing changes the failure mode of concrete. The cracks inside the concrete can extend through the crushable coarse ...

Terminology: Concrete strength properties and why they are important Compressive strength of concrete. This is the most common and well-accepted measurement of concrete strength to assess the performance of a given concrete mixture. It measures the ability of concrete to withstand loads that will decrease the size of the concrete.
According to Cui et al.

This increase was attributed to the larger tension ...
Compressive strength refers to the amount of pressure that the material can withstand before it breaks, or, in other words, the maximum crushing stress that a concrete block can take. The ability of a concrete block to endure compression stresses applied to its surface is a highly essential physical attribute of this popular construction material.
