Compressive in a sentence

At the outer face (tensile face) of the curvature the concrete experiences tensile stress, while at the inner face (compressive face) it experiences compressive stress.

Its seven-day compressive strength is almost equal to 28-day compressive strengths of types I and II.

Indeed, aside from the fashion factor, tennis dresses are typically made of a sweat-wicking, stretchy, compressive and supportive material; they usually have built-in shorts, and some have pockets specifically to hold tennis balls.

These socks are comfortable and not compressive.

The high waistband and compressive fit make them ideal for anyone looking for extra support during workouts or everyday wear.

High rise 78 compressive run short in black, £50.

Surgeons put a device called a shunt, which diverts blood flow, into his penis along with a urinary catheter, and wrapped it in a compressive bandage.

In the new work, the researchers used a method known as sparse sampling to acquire considerably fewer 2-D images and then applied compressive sensing algorithms to fill in the missing information needed to create 3-D images.

On Earth, the weight of the body's tissues presses against other bodily structures (e.g., bones, muscles, organs, veins) creating compressive forces, which can affect pressures in blood vessels and in organs throughout the body.

Alternating the faster- and slower-burning explosives in a carefully calculated configuration would produce a compressive wave upon their simultaneous detonation.

Bamboo has a higher compressive strength than wood, brick, or concrete and a tensile strength that rivals steel.

Because of their hollow structure and high aspect ratio, they tend to undergo buckling when placed under compressive, torsional, or bending stress.

Concrete strength values are usually specified as the compressive strength of either a cylindrical or cubic specimen, where these values usually differ by around 20% for the same concrete mix.
