Concrete
0 Appears to be in good condition.
Foundation is serviceable.

1 Hairline cracking.
Small, random cracking is visible. No evidence of concrete delamination.

2 Vertical/horizontal cracks with signs of internal corrosion.
Small cracks are visible and cracks form a pattern outlining the reinforcing
steel beneath the concrete surface. No evidence of concrete delamination.

Cracks are visible and are beginning to open and gain width. Distinctive
cracking pattern is present. Evidence of some delamination may be present.

4 Severe cracking and extensive corrosion.
Cracks are large, continuous, and numerous. Large areas of the concrete
surface show delamination. Removal of delaminated sections expose heavily
corroded rebar. Breaking and spalling may be occurring.

5 Failure.
Concrete show deterioration to the extreme that it no longer serves as
designed. It is unsafe. Large sections may be cracking, breaking and
separating.
