The compressive strength limit is then calculated as the maximum stress experienced by the material during the test. To calculate the compressive strength limit, you use the same formula as for stress, but with the force and area at the point of failure. This can be calculated as follows: σc = Fc Ao. σc is the compressive strength limit.

ASTM C39, Standard Test Method for Compressive Strength of Cylindrical Concrete Specimens, specifies that the loading rate fall within 0.14 to 0.34 MPa/sec (20 to 50 psi/sec). On average, the compressive strength of cylinders tested at the high load rate limit will be 3% greater than cylinders tested at the low load rate limit.
