Dear Waqar please check the pouring methodology and measures adopted to control temperature for mass concreting, if any. Then you can calculate the temperature rise during hardening of concrete and compare the difference of atmospheric temperature and concrete temperature. As very high cement content is anticipated so stringent temperature control requirements should have been adopted. By this you would be able to figure out whether these are temperature shrinkage cracks or otherwise. Moreover please calculate the crack width. As cover is high therefore there is a possibility that you may end up in calculating the crack width equivalent to whatever is visible there in the slab. Pattern of cracks you highlighted indicates the temperature shrinkage nature of cracks however calculations are needed to confirm the anticipation.
