The cold crushing strength is illustrated by the image below. To calculate cold crushing strength, two essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Maximum Load (MI) and Cross-sectional Area (A).
The formula for calculating cold crushing strength:
CCS =Â MI/A
Where:
CCS = Cold Crushing Strength
MIÂ = Maximum Load
A = Cross-sectional Area
Let’s solve an example;
Find the cold crushing strength when the maximum load is 44 and the cross-sectional area is 11.
This implies that;
MI = Maximum Load = 44
A = Cross-sectional Area = 11
CCS =Â MI/A
That is, CCS = 44/11
CCS = 4
Therefore, the cold crushing strength is 4 Pa.
Calculating the Maximum Load when the Cold Crushing Strength and the Cross-Sectional Area are Given
MI = CCS x A
Where:
MIÂ = Maximum Load
CCS = Cold Crushing Strength
A = Cross-sectional Area
Let’s solve an example;
Given that the cold crushing strength is 15 and the cross-sectional area is 5, find the maximum load.
This implies that;

CCS = Cold Crushing Strength = 15
A = Cross-sectional Area = 5
That is, MI = CCS x A
MI = 15 x 5
MI = 75
Therefore, the cold crushing strength is 75.

Calculating the Cross-Sectional Area when the Cold Crushing Strength and the Maximum Load are Given
A = MI / CCS
Where:
A = Cross-sectional Area
CCS = Cold Crushing Strength
MI = Maximum Load
Let’s solve an example;
Find the cross-sectional area when the cold crushing strength is 10 and the maximum load is 30.
This implies that;
CCS = Cold Crushing Strength = 10
MI = Maximum Load = 30
That is, A = MI / CCS
A = 30 / 10
A = 3
Therefore, the cross-sectional area is 3.
