Severity Levels

Table 4 lists severity levels for corner spalling. Corner spalling with an area of less than 65 cm² (10 in.2) from the crack to the corner on both sides should not be counted.

 L – corner spalling severity is determined by the depth/size matrix in Table 4.   Low severity corner spalls have depths less than 1 in. or are less than 12 x 12 in. with a depth up to 2 in.

 M – medium severity spalls have depths over 2 in. or are larger than 12 x 12 in with a depth of 1 to 2 in.

 H – high severity spalls are larger than 12 x 12 in. with a depth greater than 2 in.
