Like all other materials, concrete will change in volume when it dries out. This change in volume brings about tensile stresses with the concrete which causes it to crack. The reason contractors put joints in concrete pavements and slabs to allow the concrete to crack in a neat, straight line at the joint, allowing it to move when the volume of the concrete change due to shrinkage. Weather conditions may also contribute to cracking with the risk most likely on warm, dry days with low humidity
There are numerous factors than can affect the price of concrete works, some more so than others. Factors include, but are not limited to; building site conditions, building site location, total area of concrete paving, type of concrete and finish selected, design of the driveway, slope of the building site, access to paved areas, local council or estate/developer requirements, discounts and upgrades such as concrete sealing, stronger concrete and/or, stronger reinforcement .
Yes. However sealing of any paved area is highly recommended by Concrete Concepts to minimise fading and staining.
Concrete Concepts use colourmix pigments that are added to the mix at the batching stage. This process insures that the colour is mixed right through the concrete at the time of placement.
Concrete is strong in compression (squashing) and weak in tension (stretching). The introduction of steel (reinforcement) in concrete improves the strength of concrete in tension. In a slab-on-ground, reinforcement increases the tensile strength and helps control the width of shrinkage cracks. If soil conditions are known to be poor, Eg. expansive clay soils, consult a structural engineer.
Standard specifications of Australian Concrete Driveway paving is 25Mpa concrete (100mm minimum thickness), SL72 reinforcing slab mesh to all areas with 2 metre 3-L11 to any internal corner(s) to help prevent cracking. Upgraded reinforcement and/or concrete strength should be considered if heavy vehicles utilise the concrete area.
