driveway?
I got a quote from a concrete contractor who is proposing to pour 2500 psi concrete to form my garage floor and driveway (about 1,000 sq. ft. total combined area). My question, is 2500 psi strong enough or should I request a stronger grade? They're planning to add rebar for added strength.

Sorry I missed this one. 17MPa si light on; paths and light duty driveways in Oz are usually 20 -25 Mpa, 100mm deep with reo for tensile strengthening. I never go below 30MPa compressive grade.

I think the pressure that the concrete could withstand!
