- How thick is your slab and do you get cold temps? Would really cold temps increase the likelyness of a crack happening? What state do you live in? I thought about the fiber stuff. I'll look into that

- Here in NE Minnesota, it gets down to 40 below or a little colder in an average winter. For an unheated garage, it is almost impossible to prevent some hairline cracks. If you're going to heat the ga

- It gets cold here, but not -40º. And certainly no weeks on end deep freezes like you get, but the coldest I have seen it near Flagstaff Arizona where I lived was -32º with no more space to push the p

- How big is this slab going to be? You WILL have cracks, the only thing you can do is control them. There is a plastic "T" strip that goes into the concrete (it's about 2"tall) and then the top peals

- I'm no expert on concrete, but, I've been involved in a few pours. Your approach sounds good. I don't think you'll need an expansion joint unless it gets mighty cold in the winter and warm in the sum
