They used 3/8 rebar, tied in 16" squares. The perimeter was 6" thick. Foreman said the thicker perimeter serves two purposes. 1. Like a house concrete perimeter, serves as a beam. 2. Prevents water runoff wash from undermining the slab. The driveway itself is 3" thick. Simlar technique on the apron at the street. No frost line in the area, too warm a climate. . |
