of internal pore pressures and moisture distribution are also needed for validation of analytical predictions.
Effects of compositional and processing factors (curing methods, maturity, self-desiccation) on spalling
tendency should be assessed. Also, the effects of thermal exposure conditions (rate of temperature rise,
maximum temperature, and uniformity of exposure conditions) should be examined. The results of this work
should allow understanding for why spalling has not always been observed in tests of HSC.
