Abstract:

The objective of this study was to explore all possible means of preventing ice from bonding to pavement. New technologies, including new chemicals, new means of application, pavement conditioning, and timing of chemical application, were explored. The researcher recommends that (1) maintenance personnel at all levels be trained in anti-icing operations; (2) weather forecasting be an integral part of the anti-icing program to enhance the success of anti-icing; (3) liquid chemicals and prewetted salt be used to achieve maximum anti-icing benefit; and (4) anti-icing experiments be conducted with prewetted chemicals, liquid chemicals, and finer salt gradations than are currently used.
