10 days ago our slab was poured and now I see a hairline crack about 4' long. I live in the chicago area and am worried about long term. The contractor says this "happens sometimes". We have put no wieght on it as yet. Can anyone give me some input?

Thanks

It is perfectly normal to have concrete cracks form as the mix cures.

And it should in no way affect the compressive strength of the concrete.
