Summary of Evaluation Findings for the Testing of Ice Ban
Prepared by the Highway Innovative Technology Evaluation Center, a CERF Service Center. This report describes a HITEC laboratory and field evaluation...

Preliminary Evaluation Findings for Ice Ban
Prepared by the Highway Innovative Technology Evaluation Center, a CERF Service Center. This report describes results obtained from the field evaluation...

Environment-Friendly Deicing/Anti-Icing Fluid
NASA Ames has formulated a unique candidate non-glycol based freezing point depressant (FPD) fluid material that performs essentially the same or superior to currently used glycol based...

Deicing Denver
Glycol-based deicing fluids are an essential part of winter operations at most airports. While these chemicals help ensure safe and timely aircraft operations, stormwater runoff contaminated...

Anti-Icing...The Liquid Answer
In the fall of 1984, Great Salt Lake Minerals and Chemicals Corporation of Ogden, Utah (a major producer of Salt and Allied Chemicals) introduced their 'Alternative Deicers' to Washington...

Snow and Ice Control in Japan and United States
Both Japan and the United States experience severe winter conditions that require major resources and large expenditures for maintaining highways. The maritime climate that prevails in...

Reliability-Based Design for Feeeze-Thaw Concrete
Observation of pavements in Iowa shows results from the test for freezing and thawing of concrete, ASTM C-666, is not always consistent with field performance. Similar concrete made with...

Future Technology for Disbonding Snow and Ice from Pavements
Current techniques to remove ice and compacted snow from pavement surfaces are costly because they needlessly crush or melt most of the ice layer. Also, in many cases they do not accomplish...

The USACRREL Underwater Frazil Ice Detector
A modified underwater frazil ice detector has been developed at USACRREL. This detector, which operates remotely, can automatically start deicing procedures and alert operators to the...

Ice Engineering Design for Marinas
Northern marinas must be designed for the effects of ice and winter conditions. Marina sites, although themselves specific, experience forces and actions that can be predicted and generalized...

Stopping the Cracks
It is generally agreed that reinforced concrete in parking garages especially in the deicing salt environment is exposed to unusually hostile service conditions. Deterioration of reinforced...

Program to Reduce Deicing Chemical Usage
Over the years (since about 1948), the dependency on deicing chemicals has been increased to provide 'bare pavement' for safe and efficient winter transportation....
