Annex 2C: ROCOND 387 DEFINITION Shattered slabs are slabs that are badly cracked or disintegrating. A slab that has 3 or more wide cracks is considered a shattered slab. If a slab is damaged to an extent where it needs to be reblocked then it is classified as a shattered slab. METHOD This item is assessed over the total carriageway area of the segment. (Refer to “Procedure For Rating” in section 2.5) Shattered slabs are rated according to the number of slabs affected within the carriageway area over the total length of the section. MEASUREMENT This item is a count of of failed slabs. In the case of continuously reinforced concrete the shattered areas must be rated as equivalent shattered slabs. Every 4.5m shattered per lane width is equivalent to one shattered slab. 3.2.6. Scaling Assessed over total area of segment Example: (Assessed over total carriageway area of segment) In the first 100m of a segment there is scaling in one lane and 70m long, in the second 100m there is 20m of scaling in both lanes and in the fourth 100m segment there is scaling the entire length and road width. The scaling will be recorded as follows:
