However, above a certain height, the compressive load of the material is exceeded and the tower will fail.

When the compressive load is near buckling, the structure will bow significantly and approach yield.

One of the more tried and tested is: "The more compressive load exerted on the gasket, the longer it will last".

It functions to distribute hydraulic pressure in all directions within each disc under compressive loads.

The inner surface carried a compressive load.

During each subsequent earthquake, however, such bricks are increasingly likely to move, being held by only fragmental mortar, compressive load, and force of habit.

Aggrecan provides intervertebral disc and cartilage with the ability to resist compressive loads.

A 200 N compressive load was applied throughout the tests with the linear actuator.

The lamellae are stiff and sustain compressive loads.

The concrete is in the shape of an arch and carries compressive load internal to the beam.
