PURPOSES : In this study, the amount of core stone breaking in the size of boulders by excavator braker work was analyzed quantitatively through on-site test construction. In addition, the factors affecting workload were studied. METHODS : In the field test, 30 core stones of boulder sizes (1–4 m3) that appeared during earthworks, such as road construction and site construction, were collected from three locations, and the rock breaking work was carried out simultaneously using three excavator breakers(1.0-m3 volume). During the core stone breaking, progress was analyzed through video recordings. RESULTS : After the completion of rock breaking, the amount of breaking work was analyzed by direct loading and weighing using a 15- ton dump truck. As a result of the test construction, there was a significant difference in the amount of work completed per hour. CONCLUSIONS : It was found that the results were greatly affected by not only the performance of the excavator braker equipment, but also the skill of the driver and the size of the core stones.
