"Spall" can refer to a few different contexts, depending on the subject matter: 1. **Engineering/Material Science**: In this context, spalling refers to the process where layers or fragments of material break off from a surface. This often occurs in concrete or masonry structures due to factors like thermal stress, freeze-thaw cycles, or impact. For example, spalling can happen on pavement or building facades, where pieces of the material flake away.
