Answer:
Some types of aggregate are susceptible to damage from repeated freezing and thawing due to their porosity. An aggregate being porous allows water molecules to enter in between the rocks.
When freezing occurs, water is known to expand. The expansion of this in the rocks creates a type of pressure which results in the fracture of the rocks. Subsequent freezing and thawing will allow for more fracture between the rock particles which will lead to its disintegration.
