What is the difference between bearing strength and compressive strength?
What will be an ideal response?
Both, bearing strength and compressive strength, measure strength of a material in compression. However, the compressive strength refers to the strength when the element under compression is free to expand laterally - not laterally restrained. Bearing strength is a measure of compressive strength of a material when it is laterally restrained, such as the soil under the foundations.
