Deicers ensure safe mobility across roadways in winter. Despite their advantages, deicers
deteriorate concrete and are hence detrimental to concrete pavements and bridge decks …

The consensus on mechanisms responsible for how chloride-based salts attack concrete
has yet not been achieved. This work exposed laboratory-fabricated concrete samples to …

The use of roadway deicers, typically made of sand or salt, is essential for achieving safe
roadway conditions by reducing ice and snow. Unfortunately, deicers can have detrimental …

This study aims to evaluate the effects of the utilization of iron ore overburden (IOO)
materials compared to virgin aggregates (VA) on the characteristics of hot mix asphalt (HMA) …

Deicers with low freezing point depression and rapid ice-melting capacity are ideal for winter
maintenance of pavements located in snow-prone regions. The current study aims 1) to …

In order to explore the occurrence area of pervious concrete freeze-thaw deterioration, the
mass loss, strength deterioration, ultrasonic longitudinal wave velocity and dynamic elastic …

The negative impacts of aggressive environment on the durability of concrete materials have
raised great concerns in recent years. Although the nano modification has been considered …

The rapid freeze–thaw test about ordinary Portland cement concrete (PCC) was performed
in the deicers of water, 3.5% ethylene glycol, 3.5% NaCl and 3.5% calcium magnesium …

Externally bonded fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) is a promising tool to use for either
preserving the integrity of new concrete infrastructure or mitigating the deteriorations of aged …
