OTT - Weight Concrete supports
Can someone tell me how much weight (truck loaded w/ dirt) can drive on our concrete drive without cracking it.
Drive has 4-5" of concrete over 5" gravel base over 5-6" of 3" stone.
Thanks,
Rick

If it's in good condition with a well built base and cured concrete, the slab will take a fully loaded semi a couple of times. It's the repeated traffic that'll break it. If they need to drive over it repeatedly, just have them tip the first load right on the drive. Level it off and then drive on the dirt. This will help distribute the load.
