### Water and Frost Impact  
The effect of water and frost on mixtures has been studied since the 1930s [11]. Initially, water impact analysis on aggregate and asphalt-coated aggregate was investigated. For this purpose, various experimental studies were made, including the use of the static water bath or bottle method. It was only at the turn of the 1980s that key publications focusing on the impact of water and frost on mineral asphalt mixes appeared. The first key studies were performed between 1980 and 2004 [12; 13; 14] by [PERSON], [PERSON], and others. The authors performed laboratory-field tests using the static indirect tensile test (ITT) to evaluate the impact of water and freeze on different MMA types. Most of the tests performed were focused on the comparison between the test method used (ITT vs. Marshall stability), the set of samples (wet and dry), the additives used in the mix composition (rubber), or several freeze-thaw cycles applied. The mixes used in the tests were made from fine aggregate and soft (and very soft) common road asphalt. Subsequently, between 2004 and 2015, significant studies related to water-frost impact in asphalt mixtures were published [11; 15; 16; 17]. The authors investigated the effect of various freezing and thawing cycle configurations (for example, ref, after: 6, 12, 18, 24 cycles) on Marshall stability and attempted to compare the results to the ITT test. Furthermore, it was noticed that for the first time, a low-cycle dynamic indirect tensile test (ITFT) was used to assess the water and frost impact on asphalt mixtures. The authors performed research related to method usage, the impact of additives like basalt fibers on MMA water and frost resistance, the influence of adhesive chemicals, and different configurations of freeze-thaw cycles. Most of this research was performed on asphalt mixes consisting of the fine or dense graded mineral mix (AC 25P) and common road asphalt (like 60/80). Following that, between 2015 and 2020, articles on the freeze-thaw impact on asphalt mixtures were published [18; 19; 20; 21]. The authors focused on the effectiveness of the ITT and ITFT tests for water and frost MMA resistance. Asphal mixtures contained both common road (like 50/70) and modified road (like 45/80-55) asphalt. It was proven that mixtures containing polymer in the asphalt matrix could not be successfully tested by the ITT test [20]. Various combinations of the applied freeze-thaw cycle were also investigated. Moreover, water and frost MMA resistance tests (using the ITT test) were performed on asphalt mixes made in warm mix technology (WMA) and compared with reference mixes in hot technology (HMA) [18]. Furthermore, for the first time, a four-point bending (4-PB) test was applied to investigate the water-frost impact on fine-graded asphalt mixtures (binder and common road asphalt 50/70). The durability decreased by more than twice as much as the reference set [21]. Thereafter, between 2020 and 2022, some key articles [22; 23; 24] were published according to the effectiveness of ITT and ITFT test usage (water and frost impact and MMA resistance). Preformed tests were related to asphalt mixtures containing various additives: chemical (e.g., Zycotherm, Evotherm), organic (e.g., Sasobit), on the characteristics of mixes produced in the WMA technology, or other additives inside the hot technology (e.g., steel fibers). It was demonstrated that the use of appropriate additives enabled mixture production in WMA technology, but this significantly reduced the material's resistance to water and frost (even by approximately 68.5%). Moreover, tests were performed using various combinations of freeze-thaw cycles. In the previously mentioned articles, AC13 and AC16 mixes were mostly used. According to key articles, critical guidelines [25; 26] concerning the research and requirements for newly designed asphalt mixtures were published. The full procedure of testing MMA resistance to water and frost using the ITT test and the ISTR ratio was included and described.
