floor joists question
I was in my basement taking a looking up at the ceiling/floor-joists that our under my living room. A few of the joists directly over the I-beam look a little bent or cracked. I haven't noticed any issue upstairs (saggy floors, etc.). Is this an issue? Should they be reinforced or bent back in some way? Should I bolt another piece of wood up against it or try to clamp this to the other joint somehow?
thanks in advance,

I agree, unless there is some deflection in the floor above it's unlikely there is a problem. If you tried to screw or bolt the joists shown you'd likely cause them to crack.
