It will always crack,

 

but the way it cracks and the width of the crack can be manipulated by rebar and the concrete mixture so the crack will not harm the concrete or rebar

Every concrete driveway, concrete patio, concrete sidewalk, etc., will crack sooner or later. This doesn’t mean it’s going to happen in the near future. When concrete is properly placed, and aggressive precautions are taken, it can literally take30 years before it cracks.

Yes.

It will eventually get very hard.
