The　cracking　behavior　of　high　performance　concrete　(denoted　as　HPC)　was　systemically　studied　in　the　paper.　A　new　test　method　for　concrete　cracking　behavior,　called　inducing　crack　method,　is　proposed.　The　method　overcomes　the　shortages　of　the　conventional　test　method　like　random　crack　occuring　and　uneven　material　in　specimens.　The　shortages　affect　the　accuracy　of　testing.　A　testing　system　is　developed,　which　can　test　the　age　of　crack　automatically　with　multi-points　monitors.　The　factors　which　affect　the　autogenous　shrinkage　and　drying　shrinkage　of　HPC　are　studied,　and　then　a　method　to　select　raw　materials　and　determine　the　optimal　content　and　proportions　of　fly　ash　and　slag　to　reduce　the　shrinkage　of　HPC　is　proposed.　The　calculation　models　of　autogeous　shrinkage　and　drying　shrinkage　of　HPC　are　also　put　forward,　and　the　cracking　behaviors　of　HPC　are　studied　by　the　inducing　crack　method　and　the　ring　test　system.　Moreover,　this　paper　studies　the　effects　of　raw　materials,　especially　fly　ash　and　slag,　on　the　cracking　behaviors　of　HPC,　and　then　proposes　a　method　to　select　raw　materials　and　determine　the　optimal　content　and　proportions　of　fly　ash　and　slag　to　achieve　the　high　anticracking　behavior　of　HPC.
