Annex 2C: ROCOND 365 Severity of cracking is rated according to the predominant average crack width as measured with the Crack Width Scale (see section 5.2) and using the Flexible Pavement marks. Extent of cracking is calculated by the Data Entry Spreadsheet (DESS) according to the total area of cracking within the segment over the total area of the segment and expressed as percentage. TYPE The cracking is recorded on the form according to the type of crack. Longitudinal Cracking: This is cracking running longitudinally along the pavement. The length of such cracks should exceed 0.6m in order to be significant for rating purposes. Transverse Cracking: This is cracking running transversely across the pavement. The length of such cracks should exceed 0.6m in order to be significant for rating purposes. Crocodile Cracking: This is cracking consisting of interconnected or interlaced cracks forming a series of small polygons resembling a crocodile hide. SEVERITY The severity of distress is:
