He avy-ion collisions can produce nuclear material over a range of densities and proton fractions to study the nuclear equation-of-state. These measure ments are enabled by accelerating nuclei to &ndash\; in some cases &ndash\ ; GeV energies and detecting the fragments that are produced from the coll isions. \; The detectors are multi-detector arrays capable of measurin g dozens of particles simultaneously from a single collision. \; Data rates can range up to many hundreds of collisions per second. One can eith er explore the characteristics of the individual fragments that are produc ed\, often extracting particle ratios or double ratios\, or correlations b etween the fragments &ndash\; in particular transverse collective flow.&nb sp\; From very low density to about three times normal nuclear density mea surements have been made of the density dependence of the asymmetry energy . \; I will present an overview of how these measurements have been ma de and the constraints they have set on the nuclear equation-of-state.
