Abstract
A method of destroying a brittle body by molding around an elastic tube or an elastic tube in which is inserted a plastic wire or a heat-fusible member for defining a charging hole where the member or tube is partly exposed at the surface of the brittle body, and, after pulling out the elastic tube or fusing the heat-fusible member, an expandable splitting agent capable of expanding by hydration is charged into the charging hole and subjected to hydration-expansion to destroy the brittle body. In another form, a water-impermeable film enclosing an expandable splitting agent capable of expanding by hydration therein is previously buried in a brittle body in a relation partly exposed at the surface of the brittle body, and, after aperturing the exposed end of the water-impermeable film, the expandable splitting agent is subjected to hydration-expansion to destroy the brittle body.
