Which outcome occurs when Roman roads experience deformation under heavy cart traffic during thaw cycles?

💡 Explanation

Aggregate interlock reduction happens because freeze-thaw cycles introduce moisture and volumetric expansion within road materials; this weakens the structure rather than relieving stresses. Therefore, deformation arises rather than increased structural integrity under repeated weight.
