Control Of Ice-Pavement Bond On Highways And Bridges

本项目符合AD/ENG公告85-25《创新和新颖研究》。公路和桥梁上结冰的问题，除了提供减少危险的材料的成本外，在北方气候中也是事故和死亡的持续原因。已经使用了各种类型的盐、沙子和灰烬来减少结冰效应，但这些预防措施并不能消除结冰的原因。本项目将探索冰与路面粘结形成的基础研究，并探索防止粘结形成的方法。这项研究将涉及化学和机械行为的相关性，以确定结冰的机制，并研究除冰的方法以消除这种作用。研究了表面处理剂和疏水涂层的影响。这位研究人员有资格进行这项调查。这是为期12个月的一次性奖励。

This project is in accordance with AD/ENG Bulletin 85-25 for Innovative and Novel Research. The problem of ice formation on highways and bridges is a constant cause of accidents and fatalities in northern climates, in addition to the cost of providing materials to reduce the hazard. Salts, sand and ashes of various types have been used to reduce the icing effect, but these precautions do not eliminate the cause of icing. This project will explore fundamental studies on the formation of ice to pavement bond and to explore methods by which the bond formation may be prevented. The study will involve the correlation of chemical and mechanical behavior to determine the mechanism o> ice formation and investigate methods of deicing to eliminate the action. The effect of surface agents and hydrophobic coatings will be investigated. The researcher is qualified to perform this investigation. This is a one time award for 12 months.
