This　study　presents　systematic　static　uniaxial　compression　experimental　investigations　on　concrete　with　four　moisture　contents　(0.0　%,　3.3　%,　5.0　%,　and　6.2　%)　at　various　temperatures　(20　°C,　−30　°C,　−60　°C,　and　−90　°C).　The　coupling　effects　of　cryogenic　temperature　and　moisture　content　on　compression　performances　of　concrete　were　quantitatively　analyzed,　in　terms　of　stress-strain　curves,　compressive　strength,　elastic　modulus　and　peak　strain.　The　mechanisms　behind　low-temperature　enhancement　and　ice　formation　were　deeply　discussed.　The　results　indicate　that　as　the　temperature　decreases　from　20　°C　to　−90　°C,　the　increases　in　compressive　strength,　elastic　modulus,　and　peak　strain　of　saturated　concrete　are　greater　than　those　of　dry　concrete.　The　contribution　of　ice　formation　in　the　pore　structure　increases　first　and　then　decreases　with　decreasing　temperature,　reaching　a　peak　of　54.5　%　at　−60　°C.　At　cryogenic　temperatures,　with　the　increase　of　moisture　content,　the　compressive　strength　shows　a　trend　of　first　increasing　and　then　decreasing,　reaching　its　maximum　value　at　the　moisture　content　of　3.3　%.　Finally,　the　theoretical　prediction　models　for　compressive　strength　and　elastic　modulus　considering　the　coupling　effects　of　moisture　content　and　cryogenic　temperature　were　established,　which　can　effectively　predict　the　compressive　strengths　and　elastic　modulus　at　cryogenic　temperatures　with　different　moisture　contents.　This　study　can　provide　a　reference　for　the　performance　evaluation　and　large-scale　engineering　application　of　concrete　in　low-temperature　environments.　©　2025　Elsevier　Ltd
