What is "rubble"?
Rubble refers to rough, broken pieces of stone, brick, or concrete often used in construction, especially for foundations, walls, or as filler material. These pieces are usually irregular in shape and size and can come from demolished structures or be naturally formed. Rubble is valued for its strength and durability in certain building applications.
