Picture shows a prefabricated concrete staircase landing supported on a steel angle. The concrete is vulnerable to stretching stresses.
In this case they were concentrated in a small area. This kind of fracture
may lead to the corrosion of reinforcement inside concrete.
The supportive shelf shall be covered with a pad distributing stress uniformly to prevent stress
concentration.
The thick steel angle has been welded to a surprisingly lightgage
sheet metal wall frame which does not look reliably enough.
