We've noticed that concrete foundations are not allowed to "cure". They are poured one day and building starts as soon as the concrete is dry - maybe 2 days later. Perhaps if the concrete were allowed to "cure" properly, many of these cracks could be avoided. I only mention this because I had to have a small patch of concrete on my driveway re-poured (about 4") and had to leave it for 30 days before it could be driven on. My husband and I had a good laugh about that. Seriously, though, maybe you should get an engineer. Something doesn't sound right.
