Abstract
Demolition and fragmentation of concrete is currently being done using several techniques. Concrete has been fragmented using explosives, using hydraulic and pneumatic hammers, using a ball and a crane of using a hydraulic crane with ripping teeth and shovel. Depending on the method used in breaking concrete, concrete is subjected to different rates of straining and different modes of fracture. For the purpose of materials characterization, it may be convenient to differentiate various techniques of demolition according to the strain rate employed.
