we're building a road from the street to our carpark (carpark just started). the road from the carpark from the street is likely about 80 meters, and will start if it ever quits raining here.
i'm working in india right now, my wife says the builder (who built our house and whose opinion i trust) says 10 cm. depth is enough, with no steel included in the pour. the biggest load that i can think of would be the septic truck which has a very small tank on it.
if it were you, a person of experience hopefully, would you increase the depth, or include rebar/mesh into the pour. if i was a rich man i know what i would do, but is steel entirely necessary with a 10 cm. pour? would it be better to go 15 cm. without steel or 10 cm. with steel.
i'm not asking for price quotes as we all know the price of steel and concrete changes quickly. i'm just trying to get feedback from people who have done something similar.
thanks in advance for any help.
