I wondered About doing something like that but am concerned it may cause stress cracking around the bolts and result in a bigger mess shruggy


I doubt you will get enough of those to withstand the weight of two sections pulling apart like you describe. My thought is it will either bust or start big cracks on your otherwise smooth concrete surface.

I agree that something is moving under the surface. Seems odd that in this time you’ve not had a really bad movement though. Maybe you can ride this pony 15 more years? That would reach the lifespan of a concrete driveway. It lasting over 30 in good shape is a bonus.


I want my fair share
