concrete walls has hairline cracks

[earthlyken]

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.

hindi lang maayos ang pagkakapalitada ng wall.

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

Palitada lang yan. Nothing to worry about.

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

[Stigg ma]

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.

Thank you sa mga nag reply..

sinubukan konapo siyang gamitan ng hammer to check kung buo paba yung wall or may puwang na..solid panaman yung tunog or same yung tunog niya sa ibang walls na walang cracks.

regarding sa load..2 story apartment po yung unit, wala naman masyadong gamit sa taas..

ano poba dapat gawin dun? hayaan nalang and wait until it get worst? or have it fix? or look for another aprtment for rent? hehehehe..

TIA mga pre..

You're just paranoid. Check mo nalang kung pasok sa building and structural code ung apartment. Basic stuffs like the proper width of the walls, etc. Relax lang bro.

Agree you are just paranoid. On a worst case scenario may reinforcing bars naman iyan kung bibitaw semento di naman agad malalaglag yan. Except otherwise through act of god/nature na ayaw natin pareparehas mangyari.

Sir, ok Lang Yan. Nothing to worry about.

Matakot ka kung silipin Yung crack tapos tagos Sa kabilang side or irregular na shape Ng wall. Yung tipong parang lumobo or naging ***y na Yung wall. Load bearing or not, may palitada lahat Ng cement pero kung sobrang worried ka, call a structural engr. It will cost unnecessary expense but if it would help you and your family sleep better...

[Retz]

diba sa mga civil engineers, may ginagamit silang eopxy injectin sa mga cracks? pero malalaking cracks na mga un at load bearing na.

[Syuryuken]

bilib naman ako kay Retz alam lahat a mula showbiz hanggang structures

Normally sa superficial cracks lang ginagamit epoxy injection and what is commonly used are for aesthetic treatment and/or water proofing due to cracks. Pero it is non load bearing epoxy. Treatment lang iyun since hindi ka naman pede magpalitada ng 1mm na purong cement.

Since your sister is renting out the apartment, why not report your concern to the owner of the house for them to properly handle it sir? HTH and just my 1cent idea. good am.
