Compressive stress
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. In long, slender structural elements — such as columns or truss bars — an increase of compressive force F leads to structural failure due to buckling at lower stress than the compressive strength.
Compressive stress has a big attitude stress units (force per unit area), usually with negative values to indicate the compaction. However in geotechnical engineering, compressive stress is represented with positive values.
