How to Measure

Shoving is measured by determining the area in square feet (square meters) of the swell caused by shoving.

Severity

Height Differential

L

3/4 in.

(<20 mm)

M

 3/4 to 1 ½  in.

(>20 to 40 mm)

H

>1 ½ in.

(>40 mm)

As a guide, the above table may be used to determine the severity levels of shoving. At the present time, no significant research has been conducted to quantify levels of severity of shoving.
