Concrete Spalling



Concrete spalling is one of the most common issues related to the natural deterioration of buildings in Hong Kong. Property owners should seek professional advice and assessment promptly upon initial discovery to prevent structural cracks that could lead to accidents or daily concerns. Understanding the possible causes of deficiencies and undertaking timely repair and maintenance work is crucial to maintaining the structural integrity and safety of the building.

Common causes include:
1 . Continuous water seepage into concrete leads to oxidation of the steel reinforcement
2 . Concrete aging leading to rust formation
3 . Steel reinforcement expands due to oxidation by water, causing concrete delamination and spalling
4 . Concrete mixed with saltwater
5 . Subsidence in the foundation
6 . Structural overload
7 . Partial structural weakness in buildings due to rusting or material aging
9 . Poor design or construction
Common warning signs include:
- Walls showing water stains or rust marks on the surface
- Presence of dampness, seepage, or dripping water on the walls
- Flaking or detachment of plaster or decorative tiles on the walls
- Bulging of wall surfaces, large pieces of concrete spalling, exposing rusted reinforcement bars
- Cracks appearing on the walls
