Severity Levels

Severity levels are defined by the difference in elevation across the joint as indicated in Table 2.

Table 2 Levels of Severity for Faulting

Severity Level

Difference of Elevation

L

>3 and ≤10 mm

(> 1/8  and ≤3/8 in.)

M

>10 and ≤20 mm

(>3/8 and ≤3/4 in.)

H

>20 mm

(>3/4 in.)

 

 L >3 mm to ≤10 mm
    (>1/8 in to ≤3/8 in.)

 M - > 10 mm to ≤20 mm
      (> 3/8 in. to ≤3/4 in.)

 H - > 20mm
      (> 3/4 in.)
