Those evil bastards! Runoff water damaging my Silicon Graphics, Palm,
Seagate, Cisco, AMD, Adaptec, etc. shirts and laundry would surely agitate
the crap out of me too. Must have been designed with a M$ product (much
like older M$ Basic where if a series of commands are given using a
"vending machine" concept, the end result will always be wrong- unless you
negate every command after the first in the written program, lol. ...As
told to me by a friend who was a programmer I worked with at IBM), hehehe.

PS: use for drainage or solidifying bed in soft soil in low-laying areas
are usually what broken concrete is used for. It is semi-permeable,
odd-shaped and multi-sized, allowing a lot of pieces to fit nicely together
when laid down as a foundation for smaller stone or blacktop above, firming
up the area to allow heavier loads with less shifting and more saturation
drainage. Sorry, used to do engineering too and we started using that idea
in the mid-90's.

Hmm, I didn't think about drainage ditches. My thoughts were retaining
walls or a cheap, but creative patio/walkway.
:Attempt to make on-topic:
Were these chunks from a floor supporting old big-iron in a building or
from a computer company's locale that was demolished?
Um, no..... small patio that was sloped in such a way as to funnel water
into my lab's personnel uniform cleansing facility (laundry room).
