Are cracks in floor joists normal?

cracks like that in the joist are not abnormal, but they do need to be repaired. they often happen at knots, checks or notches/cuts in a joist. however, when the crack is along the lower edge of the joist and running longitudinally down the joist, the joist is failing.
