... Standard Definitions for Common Types of Pavement Cracking 47 C H A P T E R 6 Testing of the Proposed Cracking Definitions This chapter describes the effort and results involved in testing the applicability and effectiveness of the proposed cracking definitions for collecting, processing, and reporting cracking data in a systematic and rational approach. In the test, multiple data sets were collected on highways in Oklahoma to determine the feasibility of applying the proposed three levels of cracking definitions.
