A chipping or flaking of a surface due to any kind of improper heat treatment or material dissociation.
The breakup of material into small chips or flakes.
Flaking or breaking of the outer face of masonry caused by expanding moisture in freezing conditions.
Destruction of a surface by frost, heat, corrosion, or mechanical causes. Concrete exposed to intense heat may spall explosively. Expansion and contraction of the concrete as well as vaporising moisture contained in the concrete contribute to this effect. It does not necessarily mean an accelerant was used.
Spalling: The flaking or separation of a sprayed coating
A condition of brick or stone in which layers break off vertically and fall away. This is usually caused by internal pressures due to water freezing or chemicals crystalizing.
Spalling is the breaking down of concrete usually due to corroding reinforcement, which has expanded in the concrete, forcing chunks of the member to crack and separate. Many older concrete house stumps spall leaving the stump with huge cracks that eventually open up and release large sections of concrete from the face of the stump. Such stumps should be replaced for structural reasons.
The spontaneous chipping, fragmentation, or separation of a surface or surface coating.
Chipping or pitting of concrete, masonry, or stone surfaces.
Hard outer surface of brick separates and falls off exposing brick's soft interior. This occurs when water freezes and expands after it has penetrated a porous or cracked brick wall, forcing the brick' surface to pull away. Exposure of the brick's soft interior accelerates the deterioration of the brick.
Chipping or pitting of concrete or masonry surfaces.
The cracking or flaking of particles from a surface, especially when subjected to rapid temperature change.
Uneven chipping or flaking. Occurs in stone, brick and terra cotta from pressure of salts and freeze-thaw cycle as well as improper laying, repointing or cleaning. Also caused by water infiltration, which rusts metal anchors and causes increased uneven pressure on the masonry.
A condition in which the outer layer or layers of masonry or concrete material begin to break off or flake away.
When poured concrete chips, fragments or breaks apart. This problem is usually caused when the reinforcement bar (rebar) is located too close to surface or edges. It can also result from improper or inconsistent concrete mixture or a combination of excessive moisture and temperature change.
Flaking or chipping of stone or other masonry material. Similar to scaling, but the chips and flakes are larger.
The spontaneous flaking or popping of small chips from a concrete surface due to freezing.
The flaking of the top 1/4” or 1/2” of the face of the stone, common with brick and soft stone.
A breaking away of concrete at joints in floors or slabs. Typically occurs at joints that are installed improperly or don't adequately support the loads applied to them. (Also see raveling.) spray-down system – A decorative overlay applied as a splatter coat or a knock-down finish to a thickness of about 1/8 inch. Often used in conjunction with paper or adhesive stencils. Available precolored or can be integrally colored during mixing.
The flaking, cracking or other disintegration of ceramics when subjected to sudden temperature changes.
The breaking away of part of the concrete from the surface due to the concrete being weaker near the surface. Often caused by a lack of curing or poor finishing practices.
The crackling, breaking or splintering of materials due to heat, especially with concrete or terrazzo floors.
The breaking off of the surface refractory material as a result of internal stresses.
The breaking off of flake - like metal particles from a metal surface.
The chipping or flaking of concrete, bricks, or other masonry where improper drainage or venting and freeze/thaw cycling exists.
Cracking or flaking that develops on a concrete surface. Home Improvement Encyclopedia
Destruction of a surface by frost, heat, corrosion or mechanical causes. In concrete, may be caused by the expansion and contraction of moisture contained within the concrete.
Buckling or flaking off of the surface material.
Surface disintegration associated with loss of particles from the surface and associated with adhesion.
