Abstract:

The application of chloride deicing salts to roadways has increased dramatically in recent years due to public demand for safer winter driving conditions. Unfortunately, these salts create adverse effects such as corrosion of vehicles and bridge structures. More recently, adverse environmental effects have been attributed to road salt applications. Calcium magnesium acetate (CMA) was identified as a viable alternative to sodium and calcium chloride salts, and field and lab tests were performed to determine its level of performance. (52 p.)
