I'd recommend ditching the rebar for fibre reinforcing. The city is slowing making the transition to synthetic fibre reinforced concrete in subdivisions because we're finding that it saves us on maintenance issues due to freeze/thaw cycles and overall settlement issues. Rebar is great for adding strength but minor settlements can still cause cracking and freeze/thaw can cause surface deterioration. With the fibre, the tensile strength is increased in the mix itself and produces a very durable end product at a comparable price to rebar reinforcing.
