Freeze-thaw (F-T) test was performed on cylindrical specimens of air-entrained (AE) high strength (HS) concrete with blast furnace slag (BFS) sand compared to AE HS normal concrete. The strain variation inside concrete specimens during the F-T test was recorded, in addition to the dynamic elastic modulus change and mass loss. Thereafter, the static compression tests were performed on concrete specimens with different frost damage levels to examine the change in mechanical properties. No significant degradation in mechanical properties of both concrete was observed due to frost action.
