There are two steel I beams in a construction cite. The I beam Ahas 3\" long stringer in the middle of the beam in the center ofshear web and the second beam (beam B) has multiple edge cracking(0.1\" deep) due to improper rolling process in the same middle areaas beam A in both top and bottom flanges. As an engineer discusswhich of the discontinuities will be more likely to be consideredas a defect? Why?
