Concrete, properly placed and cured does not necessarily have to crack. With properly placed and cut control joints, and proper curing procedures, cracks can be avoided. I am speaking from personal experience, having been involved with concrete from Maine to Florida. My best "education" came from an engineer in Collier county who taught me about using a 3 day wet cure process where we let lawn sprinklers run on a new slab for 72 hours. Spent some money on water, but NO cracks.
