• Abstract:
  Results of an experimental investigation on the properties of a snowfree installation for a bridge deck ; are reported. The New Jersey Department of Transportation has contracted the Superior Graphite ; Company to provide a heated pavement system for a small bridge on Route 130 in South New ; Jersey. The system uses synthetic graphite to make the asphalt conductive so that when electrical ; power is applied the pavement will dissipate heat to melt snow and ice. The initial installation was ; unsuccessful and the main objective of this proposal is to provide support to eliminate or mitigate the ; problems of the initial installation. The recommendation concerning construction and material ; procedures will be employed in the installation of an improved system which could potentially serve ; as a model for future heated pavement systems.
