Accueil / cement truck on asphalt driveway
Can I put concrete/cement on top of asphalt driveway? I have an asphalt driveway. Up next to the vinyl siding exterior wall of an enclosed garage, I am needing to build a 6 inch concrete block or cement curb-like dam/retaining wall to stop the rain water from coming into the enclosed garage.
Plus de détailsIt's very likely to damage the driveway. The trucks are in the range of 30T fully loaded. They definitely will break a concrete drive (had that experience), and residential asphalt is too soft and not well enough supported to support that weight. Best case, the truck …
Plus de détailsConcrete truck can't access driveway, pour options. My back yard is generally only accessible by driveway that is approximately 150 feet away from road. 50 feet of this distance is sloped at 1:6 (1 V to 6 H). Need to pour footers and slab for a 22 x 24 foot garage floor which I guess would take 7-8 yards for slab and up to 10 yds for the footers.
Plus de détailsI'm no asphalt expert so maybe there are some cues that I haven't keyed upon.Concrete doesn't concern me as much, but gravel is the only one that I don't worry about.I think there is a good chance that a loaded concrete truck or a shingle delivery truck with a full load could be the biggest point load a driveway would have seen in the past 20 ...
Plus de détailsThe readymix company said the truck is about 24-25 tons with the cement. In the wheel path area, put down a few sheets of thick CDX plywood. And don't wait for the hottest day of the year for your delivery--cooler is always better when it comes to avoiding excessive asphalt deflection on residential driveways.
Plus de détailsI need to get 5-10 tons of road pack delivered to freshen up part of my driveway/parking area. From the street there is the inlet part of the driveway, the sidewalk, and then ~35ft of driveway which is all concrete, maybe 4-5" thick, and the dump truck will have to drive over this to get to the spot I want him to dump the road pack.
Plus de détailsTopping an asphalt driveway with concrete is called ... If possible, allow the concrete truck to back up directly to the concrete frame. After the truck pours the concrete, start dragging a straight 2×4 across the top. The 2×4 helps level the concrete. Continue making passes with the 2×4 until the concrete is evenly filled across the surface ...
Plus de détailsDriveway is about 4" thick asphalt, clearly a DIY jobby. I'm trying make this the 'brief version' but gotta tell the rest: Within about an hour the city crew came by, claimed all responsibility for the hole (said storm drain was down there and it should have held a moving truck). Patched up hole nicely. 4 or 5 days later we had a substantial rain.
Plus de détailsI'm going to have 12 yards of dirt delivered for some outdoor projects (ideas from the forum) and want it dumped in my backyard. However, the delivery guy asked me if I trusted my drievway to carry his fully loaded 12 yard truck. The driveway appears to be ~5-6" thick concrete at the edge (4" center probably) and appears to be laid over gravel.
Plus de détailsYev. Not a chance you should let the concrete truck on your driveway. Like was said earlier, if gunite, it will be hose pumped from the road. For the concrete for the patio around the pool (assuming you are not using stone or pavers) most likely they will just use a bobcat's bucket to drive the concrete back and forth.

Plus de détailsI'm wondering about the capacity of my asphalt driveway, with respect to a concrete truck. If it matters, approx 60 yards long. I feel certain that a fully loaded truck (~10 yards, roughly 40k payload + the actual truck) is not a good idea.
Plus de détailsBut, the driveway is old and 3 layers thick. When we built an addition on our old house, we have several concrete trucks and dump trucks drive over a sidewalk that was 35 years old which was poured by my father who knew nothing about mixing concrete (back in the early 60's). The sidewalk didn't crack, and one concrete truck had a single axle.
