We have two options for accomplishing this. One is the unit strength method and the other is testing masonry prisms for compressive strength. The unit strength method verifies the compressive strength of the individual materials and then uses tables to determine compressive strength of the assembly from that information.

In very high-strength concrete mixtures (greater than 70 MPa) the crushing strength of the aggregate can be a limiting factor to the ultimate compressive strength. In lean concretes (with a high water-cement ratio) the crushing strength of the aggregates is not so significant.
