The most effective way to manage thermal cracking in mass concrete applications is to use concrete mix designs which have a reduced temperature rise (i.e. a lower heat of hydration).

Concrete or other thermal mass materials (e.g. stone, masonry) can also be located close to a wood burner, so the heat can be absorbed and released when the fire is out. ...
