Active Takeoff Crack [cracked]

| Crack Type | Best Repair | Dowel Bars Needed? | |------------|-------------|--------------------| | (parallel to centerline) | Full-depth patch with tied concrete | No – but use tie bars | | Transverse active crack (across wheel path) | Slab replacement + load-transfer dowels | Yes – 1.5‑inch diameter @ 12‑15 inch spacing | | Corner crack (at joint) | Remove & replace corner; install dowels at joint | Yes – two dowels | | Multiple active cracks (alligator pattern) | Full-depth reclamation or asphalt overlay with geogrid | N/A |

: Active cracks should not be sealed with rigid epoxy until the movement is stabilized (e.g., through underpinning or drainage correction), as a rigid seal will simply crack again [2]. active takeoff crack
