The effect of freeze-thaw cycles on the axial tension and axial compression properties of completely carbonized concrete are investigated in this study. Three grade concrete specimens (C30, C40, and C45) were fabricated. The freeze-thaw cycle test was carried out on the completely carbonized specimens, followed by axial tension and axial compression tests. The results show that completed carbonization increases the axial tensile peak stress of C30, C40, and C45 concrete specimens by 8.7%, 9.7%, and, 12.1%, respectively. The peak axial tension strain increased by 1.9%, 7.2%, and 9.6%, respectively. The peak axial compressive stress increased by 10.5%, 19.1%, and 24.1%, respectively. The peak axial compressive strain decreased by 13.7%, 14.1%, and 14.3%, respectively. With the increase of freeze-thaw cycles, the peak stress of tensile stress, peak strain, and compressive stress of concrete decrease continuously. The peak strain of compressive strain increases. The lower the strength grade of concrete, the faster the decline rate of stress and strain. According to the data changes of peak stress and peak strain at different times of freeze thaw after carbonization, the stress-strain curve fitting formula for concrete under freeze-thaw cycles after complete carbonization is put forward, which has a good coincidence with the experimental result.
