Reasons of Concrete Spalling

January 25, 2019 TeamCivil Concrete, Durability
Reasons of Concrete Spalling

Concrete Spalling Currently, there are two mechanisms concerning the occurrence of spalling: 1- the pore pressure build up causes spalling in the cement matrix and 2- thermal and mechanical stresses. In 1997, Anderberg gave an account
