Hi,
I noticed visible hair line crack (single or 2 max) protruding from the bottom of the beam at mid-span. My guess is flexure crack just before the reinforcement yields. The problem is the building is still under construction & hasn't reached service load yet.
Having checked my calculation & plans, I am quite confortable with my design & detailing. I checked the concrete test results & reinforcement certificates; they are ok as well. I suspect it was due to premature removal of props & forms since we served the contractor written warning in 2 occasions on this matter. Is there anything I can do to remedy or to check the integrity of the beam?
Should I be worry in the 1st place 'cause I am.
thanx
