spalling

Extreme temperature change, such as forest fires, can also cause spalling of rock.

Mechanical spalling occurs at high stress contact points, for example, in a ball bearing.

A serious fire in 1989 caused considerable spalling to the interior roof arches.

At that point spalling may occur, damaging the pusher plate.

Otherwise, concrete can be subject to significant spalling.

The frost-thaw cycle has caused some cracking and spalling of the concrete.

Spalling of concrete is also observed on ceilings of some floors.

Further investigation by Urban Engineers determined that the bridge was safe and only needed surface work to stop the spalling.

In 2003, a grant was obtained to repair spalling of the exterior brick work on the fog signal building.

This differential expansion causes sub-surface shear stress, in turn causing spalling.

If successful, it caused internal spalling of the armor plate, killing or injuring the tank crew inside.

Such permeability reduction caused an increase in vapor entrapment, which can lead to explosive spalling.

Salt carried by fog or mist reached the rebar, causing corrosion and concrete spalling.

The structure is findamentally unaltered, but has undergone a considerable amount of concrete spalling and chipping.

Expansion of corroded rebar causes spalling of the concrete.

No spalling from micrometeoroids or hyperspatial anomalies.

If concrete is exposed to very high temperatures very rapidly, explosive spalling of the concrete can result.

Salt spalling is a specific type of weathering which occurs in porous building materials, such as brick, natural stone, tiles and concrete.

During construction of the building's final addition, extensive cracking and spalling were discovered in the soft Kyune sandstone that faced the 1905 and 1912 sections.

The parish house was built at that time as well, and the brick on the church exterior painted over in white in the hope of preventing spalling.

When hitting the M113, the RPG-2 warhead would cause internal spalling, injuring or killing the occupants.

Glaciers erode by multiple processes: abrasion/scouring, plucking, ice thrusting and glacially-induced spalling.

'Actual pick marks are visible in the quarry but this spalling seems to have caused the print-like depressions with their 'mid-foot' deep points.'"

Secondary fragments from the warhead itself due to a larger entry hole, plus more extensive spalling than caused by HEAT warheads of similar diameter.

This reaction caused internal cracking of the concrete, and crumbling and spalling of the concrete leaving the reinforcing steel exposed to the marine environment.
