A crucial role play the amount of water contained in the concrete, capable of being frozen, as well as the volume and distribution of air pores. Assuring the proper freeze resistance involves the provision of maximal water-tightness, i.e., an impermeable structure free from water capable of being frozen, and producing an appropriate system of air pores not able to be completely filled with water, which, at the same time, will contribute to an improvement in the thermal properties of the material.
