In this paper, an extensive review for concrete-to-concrete bond strength was conducted.
Several major factors that affect the bond strength between concrete layers such as …

A pulse system for detaching ice includes a power supply for applying a high-power heating
pulse to the interface between ice and an object such as a cold plate of an ice making …

Conventional concrete is a dielectric whose properties change based on the constituents of
the mixture. Consequently, it is not an effective electromagnetic shield since radio frequency …

A method for controlling a coefficient of friction between an object and ice includes steps of
(1) pulsing power to an interface between the object and the ice to melt an interfacial layer of …

Abstract Systems and methods for pulse electrothermal and heat-storage ice detachment. A
pulse electrothermal ice detachment apparatus includes one or more coolant tubes, and …

A system and method for heating concrete structures to either prevent the build-up of
freezing precipitation or eliminate freezing precipitation on a top surface of the concrete …

Methods, systems and devices for making a pedestrian, vehicular, or other surface resistant
to frost, snow and ice by use of heat are disclosed. A composite base or deck element …

An alternating electric field is applied at an ice interface to generate a resistive AC current
having a frequency greater than 1000 Hz in interfacial ice. Typically, a first electrode and a …

In order to melt snow and prevent freezing without consuming energy wastefully and to
monitor a road surface state remotely, a road surface sensor includes: a rotating stand …
