				transverse joint						Epoxy sawed joint if uncracked
								Dowelled		Full-Depth Repair or
										If crack jumps from sawcut to edge
										of slab within 3 feet of edge of slab,
										stop sawcut, saw & seal crack
Uncontrolled Crack		Transverse		Parallel to & within		Full-Depth		Undowelled		Saw and seal crack
				5 ft. (1.5 m) of joint						Seal joint
								Dowelled		Full-Depth repair to replace
										crack and joint
Spalled sawcut or		Transverse		Anywhere		Spalling;  more than		Either		Partial-Depth Repair
uncontrolled crack						3.0 in. (75 mm) wide
Uncontrolled Crack		Longitudinal		Relatively parallel to & within		Full-Depth		Either		Saw/route & seal the crack
				1 ft. (0.3 m) of joint;  May						or cross-stitch the crack
				cross or end at longitudinal joint						Epoxy sawed joint if uncracked
Uncontrolled Crack		Longitudinal		Relatively parallel to & within		Full-Depth, hairline, or spalled		Either		Remove and replace panel
				wheel path;  1 - 5 ft.						or cross-stitch crack
				(0.3-1.5 m) from joint
Uncontrolled Crack		Longitudinal		Relatively parallel to & further		Full-Depth		Either		Cross-stitch crack
				than 5 ft. (1.5 m) from a
				longitudinal joint or edge
Spalled sawcut or		Longitudinal		Anywhere		Spalled		Either		Partial-Depth Repair
uncontrolled crack
Uncontrolled Crack		Diagonal		Anywhere		Full-Depth		Either		Full-Depth Repair
Uncontrolled Crack		Multiple per panel		Anywhere		Two or more full depth cracks		Either		Remove and replace panel
						dividing panel into 3 or more pieces
Notes:	Full-Depth repair per Specification 2529						a	LTR = load-transfer restoration (if faulted less than 1/2");  3 dowel bars per wheel path grouted into slots sawed across the crack.  Slots must be parallel to each other and the longitudinal joint.  Backfill with non-shrink, cement-based grout.  Diamond grind if faulting is severe.
	Partial-Depth repair per Specification 2530
	Cross-stitch repair per Construction Manual 9.27
	Repairs should be made without use of Calcium Chloride
	unless early opening to traffic is necessary.
