Spalling
can cause significant
damage |
The
steel reinforcing
bars inside poured
concrete should
be kept several
inches away from
the face of the
concrete. When
subject to moisture,
these bars will
rust and expand,
causing the face
of the concrete
to spall or break
off. This defect
is typically of
a minor nature.
In some installations
the rusting can
be substantial,
necessitating
major concrete
repair or foundation
replacement. |
