What is spalling concrete?
Cracks and bulges in small areas of the celling are probably spalling concrete. If these cracked pieces are removed, steel bars may be seen embedded in the exposed concrete.


What causes spalling concrete?
Spalling concrete is largely due to a natural deterioration process called carbonation. Carbon dioxide in the air diffuses into the concrete and reacts with the alkalis in it. The concrete becomes carbonated and this allows the embedded steel bars to corrode. These corroded steel bars expand and exert a force on the surrounding concrete causing the concrete to bulge and crack.

fragmentacion del concreto


Explanation:
Hi, Gary!
What I found on dictionary is as follows... spall = a chip,fragment or flake from a piece of stone or ore.
spalled, spall ing, spall = to break up into chips or fragments.
Therefore: fragmentacion del concreto.

best regards!
