    hello fellow tsikoters..

    question, my sister is renting a 2 floor house apartment and when we visit the place, we notice that some of the walls has very tiny single hairline long cracks... are those cracks dangerous? we're thinking that the apartment might collapse or something.

    hinde po siya spider type na cracks, single line lang..pero very tiny..halos hinde mo kita..

    sorry just being paranoid..

    TIA

    Normal yan sir. Mas kumplikado pa sa mga condo dahil hindi nauubusan ng hairline cracks at kadalasan may form like isang buong square ang hairline crack na kala mo isang buong wall malalaglag.

    Ang masama kung gumagalaw na.

    it would depend.
    kung concrete and buhos, ok lang yan.
    kung hollow blocks, sooner or later those cracks will get bigger.

    Are these load bearing or non-load bearing members? Which part of the building? You can use the "coin tap method" to see if it is just the plaster that came loose. If the concrete was disturbed while it was curing or dried prematurely it will develop hairline cracks

    oo nga kahet anu pulido at pino ng pag kakapalitada, minsan nalabas padin nga ang ganiyan sa mga pader.

    of course we cant see here the actual load of the said apartment/building so may i suggest you have it checked with a licensed structural engineer to check the integrity of the building if you are really worried.
