“…For anisotropic pore structures, compressive strength is typically reported for loads applied parallel to the wall direction. In the cases where compressive strength is reported for loading perpendicular to the wall direction (in addition to parallel loading), anisotropic compressive strength properties, where increased strengths for parallel loading, are reported [186,308,[461][462][463][464][465]. Increased flexural [186] strength, and elastic moduli [193] are also reported for parallel loading in comparison to perpendicular loading.…”
