We did a 600 m drive for a plant dealers who sell 500/600 machines a year almost 20 years ago it’s 8-9 “ thick with 8 mm mesh and joints every 11 m , it’s well worn but not a crack anywhere we used pav2 air entrained 1 layer of mesh and poly fibres as it was done in summer to avoid plastic shrinkage cracksHi sorry to jump in just interested regarding the concrete mix being discussed, what’s the best mix for outside yard areas? Interested to learn about this wra and altering the mix, think some we have done previously was altered mid job but wasn’t sure

Sounds like a good job tbh, HGV spec to me is 225mm, 2 layers A393 or A252 and PAV2 or c28/35 cem1, wra, ae, s3
Generally only specify dc2 for foundations on c32/40
Would you recommend no wra in the mix? And what would be the best cement to water ratio? Sorry for the questions but trying to learn why we have had variations in concrete delivered from same company, just wondering if they have unknowingly to myself cheapened it in some way.
