    Shameer, I can see that crack has developed near the un-supported end of the beam. It can be due to the deflection of the beam at the end.

    The reinforcement is ok. The staggering is also ok. Just try to make sure, minimum wastage happens in cut lengths. Make sure the lap is minimum of 50D.
