The results indicate that the greater the steel slag replacement rate, the larger the difference in carbonization depth between the top surface and the bottom surface. G-0.45-100 (here 0.45 represents the water-cement ratio and 100 means that the replacemen ratio is 100%) exhibited the largest difference, at 53.4%. Moreover, steel slag concrete demonstrates better strength and frost resistance at the same age. At a steel slag replacement rate of 100%, the 28-day compressive strength of steel slag concrete with a water-cement ratio of 0.45 increased by 13% compared with that of ordinary concrete. The splitting tensile strength and the flexural strength increased by 12.6% and 7.1% respectively. SEM test revealed that the interface transition zone (ITZ) of steel slag and cement stone was denser than that of ordinary aggregate, less affected by freeze-thaw cycles, and exhibited superior interface bonding. Additionally, through multiple regression analysis and the least square method, we established a numerical model for compressive strength and a freeze-thaw damage model of steel slag coarse aggregate concrete with good fitting accuracy. %U http://ckyyb.crsri.cn/EN/10.11988/ckyyb.20221223
