• Abstract:
  The primary objective of this research was to construct, demonstrate, and monitor a full-scale field implementation of the largest-to-date operational, electrically conductive concrete (ECON) heated pavement system (HPS) using different electrode configurations. The goals of the project included the following: • Develop a cost-effective methodology for producing ECON for snow and ice removal applications on Iowa pavements • Gain an understanding of ECON and its properties • Better understand the challenges and issues with full-scale implementation of an ECON HPS • Evaluate the thermal and energy performance of different design configurations under real winter conditions.
