Hi,

We have what appears to be a half inch wide crack in the slab about 2 inches from the inside of the wall(close to where it would join the foundation). There are pictures attached to this post. The crack continues around the perimeter of all of the outside walls of the building. Does this sound like the slab has contracted, or does it sound like the walls were constructed too soon after pooring the slab? Or something else? Please check out the pictures.

What would be required to repair such a crack?
thanks for your insight.

What kind of engineer or specialist would be the one to inspect a crack in the concrete slab?

This is a 3400 foot commerical building located in northern Nevada. The building is one-story, and built on soil with varying amounts of sand, silt and clay. There is no basement. It appears to be a slab on grade construction but I need to confirm whether or not there is a crawl space.
Thanks for all your input.
