Which failure causes concrete spalling due to rebar corrosion?

💡 Explanation

Concrete spalling from corroded rebar occurs because the volume expansion of iron oxides from the corrosion products exceed the tensile strength of the concrete, therefore the concrete cracks and flakes off rather than remaining intact.
