The paper alternatively discusses the concrete cylinder compressive test. Basically, the fracture is treated as a single comminution process. After compressive testing, the main concrete debris as well as the samples of fine-grained particles, including grain-size distribution and grain shape, are analyzed. The fine-grained samples are distributed according to a R(osin)-R(ammler)-S(perling)-distribution. The distribution parameters depend on the mechanical properties of the concrete. The shpae factor increases as the compressive strength increases. Generally, with an increase in the strength properties, the fracture becomes non-regular due to a ‘homogenization’ of the fracture process.
