A new W36x330 bridge beam arrived from the fabricator with a longitudinal crack in the web at the neutral axis. The crack is about 4ft long starting from one end of the beam. Visually, the width of the crack at the surface is maybe 1/16", the depth of the crack is small, about 1/32". Thought grinding the crack, welding, then grinding flush as possible repair solution. Any other suggestions?
