What is the Compressive Strength of Concrete? The strength of concrete is measure in terms of pounds per square inch (or PSI) PSI is a measure of compressive strength or the ability of the material to carry loads and handle compression 1 ) 2500-3000 PSI Most concrete has a PSI rating of 2500 to 3000 This type of concrete can be used for
