	  abstract     = {Air-cooled Blast Furnace Slag Aggregate (BFSA) is
usually referred to as a material providing for unique properties of
concrete. On the other hand, negative influences are also presented in
many aspects. The freeze-thaw resistance of concrete is dependent on
many factors, including regional specifics and when a concrete mix is
specified it is still difficult to tell its exact freeze-thaw resistance due
to the different components affecting it. An important consideration
in working with BFSA is the granularity and whether slag is sorted or
not. The experimental part of the article represents a comparative
testing of concrete using both the sorted and unsorted BFSA through
the freeze-thaw resistance as an indicator of durability. Unsorted
BFSA is able to be successfully used for concretes as they are
specified for exposure class XF4 with providing that the type of
cement is precisely selected.
