BrabusNG: If the crack is not expanding then there’s no cause for alarm.
It’s not safe to put a bandage on a broken bone.
My recommendation is that a structural engineer should conduct a physical investigation to determine the cause.

BrabusNG: Even though the crack is extending beyond the coping. Don’t you see the cracks happening around the compression zone of the beam/coping?
If not structural failure, maybe it’s incorrect design. But I won’t rule out settlement. The pattern of the cracks and size of opening doesnot suggest any structural issue. |

fabulous85: pics as requested From the pix , this doesn't look like a structural failure. You should have been more careful when chiselling the wall. The elongation of the cracks might be due to the force applied while chiselling... . The inital crack could be as a result of settlement of the buliding which is expected with usage and age.. Re plastering the affected area should suffice unless it becomes wider ...... Then involve a structural enginer. |

hakeem4: Cant provide solutions with just guess works.
But from my experience the only lasting solution is underpinning and replacing that base I won't recommend underpinning a fence. Let him engage a structural engineer who will visit the site but whatever the case may be, the cracks should be observed again before conclusion and final recommendations are made. |

fabulous85: the cracks only appear where there are pillars on the wall. the rest of the wall and the main building has no cracks so I chiselled and nailed wire mesh to the crack, then plastered but it still appeared. You need to observe the crack further to confirm if its a structural failure or not. Put a mark/ line on the crack or a glass piece to observe the rate of expansion with time. Also confirm 1. if there has been any disturbance ( workdone) around the fence lately.. 2..The type of foundation done and 3. The soil test report/ recommendations for the land. |

hakeem4: I think you’re mistaking floor for storey!
G+1 is a 2 storey building wether American or Britain The only difference is Britain calls it ground floor while Americans call it first floor.
But storey is from floor to floor or roof to roof. Correct. |

If you want to wear hijab enrol in a hijab wearing school. You don't go to a Christian school and insist on wearing your hijab when it's not permitted in the school. This is all shades of wrong. You love the quality of the school enough to enrol but you can't subject yourself to the dress code. Go to where your hijab is permitted. And let peace reign. |
