Can you put more concrete on top of old concrete?
Yes, if the base is stable the new layer will bond and create a new, fresh surface.An unstable base will give bad results. You should pressure wash the old concrete to get rid of loose and spalling concrete and you should use a bonding agent to serve as a primer to get the new layer to bond well to the old.Obviously, if the new concrete is laid over concrete that is subsiding because of a sinking foundation, the new concrete will crack. You need to stabilize the old concrete before pouring new over it.If you put new over old, it needs to be at least a couple inches thick else it will not cure properly. If you simply want to improve the surface, there are special self-levelling concrete mixes that can be poured thinner and still be strong. Take a look at the link below for a good how-to.
