scope:

This protocol describes a method for evaluating faulting in jointed concrete pavement surfaces.

Note 1-Faulting is defined as the difference in elevation across a transverse joint or transverse crack.

Although the faulting is measured, detailed specifications are not included for equipment or instruments used to make the measurements. Any equipment that can measure with the accuracy stipulated herein and that can be adequately calibrated is considered acceptable.

This standard practice may involve hazardous materials, operation, and equipment. The procedure does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this protocol to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations related to and prior to its use.
