Which outcome arises from repeated freeze-thaw cycles where Roman roads used pozzolanic concrete?

💡 Explanation

Concrete hydraulic fracturing is accelerated from volumetric expansion of ice crystals during phase transition because water permeates microcracks, therefore stress exceeds tensile strength causing crack propagation, rather than aggregate expansion affecting intact concrete. Pozzolan's effect indoors or ash content aren't relevant.
