How does the specific gravity of a material is related to the strength of that material?
Kuldeep Singh
If you mean in general, then no. The strength of any material doesn't depend on the specific gravity of that material, be it a solid or paste. Neither of the compressive, tensile or shear strength depends on density. For example, two grades of steel might have the same specific gravity but very diffRead more

Neither of the compressive, tensile or shear strength depends on density. For example, two grades of steel might have the same specific gravity but very different strengths. Cast iron is stronger in compression and wrought iron in tension despite the same densities. You can design two concrete mixes with the same densities and compare the strengths to check yourself!
