The outline of pre-cooling system using frozen sand with liquid nitrogen (LN2) and the results of the tests adopted in the development of the system are described first in this paper. As a result of tests, the following items are confirmed; (1) There were no changes in the physical properties of frozen sand. (2) The properties of the pre-cooled concrete using frozen sand were rather improved. (3) Higher cooling efficiency was attained compared to other pre-cooling methods using LN2. And next the study on thermal crack control measures utilizing this system and the results obtained from the actural construction of the bottom slab of an LPG in-ground storage tank are mentioned. Consequently, thermal crack in the slab was well controlled and this system was confirmed to be practical.
