• Properties of Concrete at Elevated Temperatures (2014, background): “There are two broad theories by which the spalling phenomenon can be explained [83].”
• A numerical model for predicting the fire resistance of reinforced concrete beams (2008, background): “Some researchers theorized spalling to be caused by the build-up of pore pressure during heating [4,5,13,14].”
• Temperature, Pore Pressure and Mass Variation of Concrete Subjected to High Temperature -- Experimental and Numerical Discussion on Spalling Risk (2010, background): “Particularly, previous studies have shown the important risk of thermal instability of concrete, phenomenon commonly called spalling [1,2].”
• Effect of Temperature on Thermal Properties of Different Types of High-Strength Concrete (2011, background): “Spalling results in the loss of concrete cross-section, which might expose the steel reinforcement directly to fire, resulting in a faster loss of strength and stiffness of a structural member (Hertz 2003; Kodur 2000).”
• Stress-strain curves for high strength concrete at elevated temperatures (2004, unknown): “The variables considered in the experimental study included concrete strength, type of aggregate and the addition of steel fibers, since these variables have shown to be of significant influence in the fire endurance of high strength concrete (Kodur 2000).”
• EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE ON THERMAL PROPERTIES OF HIGH-STRENGTH CONCRETE (2003, background): “Data from various studies show (Phan 1996, Kodur 1997a, 2000), that for HSC, the spalling of concrete under fire conditions is a major concern.”
