Concrete Slab Cracks
Concrete Slab Cracks
(OP)
I have a situation where the 6” garage slab poured a year ago which till now, no cars ever parked but has numerous cracks. In fact, it seams like more and more cracks are showing up every day. The cracks which I don’t know how deep they are run every which way. My guess is that the concrete must have had too much water. The contractor is saying that there is nothing wrong and that having cars parked on the slab won’t cause any problem. He says that the cracks are superficial and a thin layer of epoxy coating made for garage floor will take care of it.
Does any body have experience with a similar situation? Thanks.

RE: Concrete Slab Cracks
So here's my wild guess (emphasis on wild and I only suggest this because you say that more and more cracks appear every day).. is it possible that the concrete is undergoing ASR?

Is it a slab on ground or a suspended slab?
The most likely cause is restraint cracking due to drying shrinkage, just because that is the most common type of concrete cracking.
