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.
