To solve the problem of cracks developing on thin-walled concrete structures during construction, the authors expound on the causes of cracks and the crack mechanism. The difference between external and internal temperatures, basic temperature difference and constraints are the main reasons of crack development on thin-walled concrete structures. Measures such as optimizing concrete mixing ratio, improving construction technology, and reducing temperature difference can prevent thin-walled concrete structures from cracking. Moreover, water-pipe cooling technology commonly used in mass concrete can be applied to thin-walled concrete structures to reduce temperature difference. This method is undoubtedly a breakthrough in anti-cracking technology for thin-walled concrete structures, particularly for thin-walled high-performance concrete structures. In addition, a three-dimensional finite element method is adopted to simulate the calculation of temperature control and anti-cracking effects f. Results show the apparent temperature controlling effect of water-pipe cooling for thin-walled concrete structures.
