The compressive strength of M20 grade concrete varies between 17 and 23 N/mm2 (i.e. between 170 kg/cm^2 and 230 kg/cm^2) after 28 days curing. This means that the concrete can withstand a compressive load of 170 to 230 kg/cm² before it fails..

The compressive strength of a material is its capacity to withstand loads that tend to reduce the object in size; in other words, how much pressure it takes to compress, flatten, or crush a meteorite. At the compressive strength limit, most meteorites will fracture, however, some, like the irons, could just suffer permanent deformation. This limit is …
