Good morning everyone,
I have been reading along for a while now and have a small question about our current house construction. I have also asked this question in another forum. However, I am still unsure and am asking the question here again. I have already learned that in this case it is not a lintel in the traditional sense. But due to lack of alternatives, I still use the term. So, above our garage, a lintel was shuttered and poured over a length of 7m and a height of one meter. Now the construction workers apparently miscalculated the amount of concrete. This means that on a length of about 1m and a depth of about 20cm, concrete is still missing. This will surely be poured today. Now the question: Because the already poured concrete has dried somewhat until today, is it possible that the concrete added today will not form a "connection" with the already poured concrete? I want to know if there are problems with load-bearing capacity, deflection, strength, or if this is not a problem at all. Before I confront the construction company, I wanted to make sure whether there is actually a reason to complain. Pictures attached.
Thanks and regards
