The use of roadway deicers, typically made of sand or salt, is essential for achieving safe
roadway conditions by reducing ice and snow. Unfortunately, deicers can have detrimental …

During winter, snow and ice on roads in regions with cold weather can increase traffic
crashes and casualties, resulting in travel delays and financial burdens to society. Anti‐icing …

This work evaluated the performance and impacts of several agro-based anti-icers along
with two traditional chloride-based anti-icers (23% by weight NaCl brine and its beet juice …

Recent studies and field observations have confirmed that winter maintenance equipment
that apply chemical deicers to the roads corrode at an accelerated rate. Roadway deicers …

In this laboratory study, the performance and impacts of several new types of anti-icer were
examined. A chemico-biological process was employed to prepare liquid extracts from two …

In this study, AA1050 aluminum alloy samples were anodized in sulfuric acid baths
containing different amounts of environmentally friendly bio-additive (eggshell particles) …

For patch repairs of chloride contaminated RC structures, the use of discrete sacrificial
anodes (DSAs) is indispensable. Without DSAs embedded, due to the ring effect, the failure …

The use of chemicals for snow and ice control operations is a common practice for improving
the safety and mobility of roadways in cold climate, but brings significant concerns over their …

Presently, the most common freezing point depressants (FPDs) used for roadway winter
operations are sodium chloride (NaCl), magnesium chloride,(MgCl2), calcium chloride …

Four commercially available snow-and ice-control products made from naturally sourced
materials were tested laboratory. Using 23 wt.% NaCl (salt brine) as a control, ice-melting …
