Horizontal cracks in column under ramp
Horizontal cracks in column under ramp
(OP)
Picture shows horizontal crack runs along the column just under the ramp at 3rd and 4th levels of structure. Still the building is under construction and just completed 4th level slab/ramp concreting. Foundation is a piling system rest on bed rock. Anybody can explain what are the reasons for this please..?

I wouldn't be surprised if it's just bleed water spalling off or something like that. But it's tough to tell on the picture.

Removal of the formwork above the crack would likely aid the discussion.
