The costs involved in a concrete project with with elusive concrete depends on a variety of factors including the type of build, the quality of concrete used, the area or size of the project and the complexity of the design involved. To get an accurate estimate, you can schedule a consultation and provide us with details about your project needs.
The thickness you need for a driveway depends on the load you expect it to bear and other factors such as soil in the area. Most concrete contractors will install 30 – 50 mm of structural base and pour 100 – 150mm of concrete. Heavy vehicles can cause severe damage to your driveway, so try to eliminate the need for these vehicles on your driveway where possible.
Concrete’s chemical composition explains why its volume changes as it dries out. Tensile stress, which occurs when the concrete expands, causes it to break. The concrete may shift outward and inward due to the pressure that develops as a result of this change in volume.
There are steps taken to lessen the concrete’s propensity to fracture, like creating seams that permit clean, straight-line fissures. Additionally, these joints enable the concrete to move as its volume changes as a result of expansion and contraction. The weather is one of the main factors that affects concrete. On warm, dry days with low humidity and strong winds, the chance of cracking is significantly higher.
