In this study, a novel electrical resistance heating method for deicing and snow melting
applications was investigated. Three different forms of carbon fiber were embedded into …

Road salts are a growing environmental concern in urban watersheds. We examined
groundwater (GW) and surface water (SW) dynamics of Na+ and Cl− in Minebank Run …

This review examines current understandings of how the belowground characteristics of
urban settings affect tree roots as well as how tree roots contribute to biogeochemical …

A method of deicing with carbon fiber heating wires (CFHWs) embedded inside concrete
slabs is presented in this paper to avoid the adverse effects of traditional deicing salt on the …

The application of de-icing salts for winter road maintenance is recognized as a major
contributor to the decline of urban trees. We conducted a long-term monitoring program …

Of several impacts of road salting on roadside soils, the potential disruption of the nitrogen
cycle has been largely ignored. Therefore the fates of low-level ammonium-N and nitrate-N …

In this paper, the method of melting snow with carbon fiber grille buried in airport pavement
is presented to avoid the adverse effects of snow-melting chemicals on the structure …

Ice and snow on road surfaces can affect driving safety severely and cause accidents.
Numerous active snow and ice removal technologies, such as conductive asphalt concrete …

Electric heating concrete is a specialized concrete containing electrically conductive
components to attain stable conduction of electricity. Due to its electrical resistance, a thin …

Salts used for de-icing roads and sidewalks in northern climates can have a significant
impact on water quality and vegetation. Sub-surface engineering systems, such as structural …
