Abstract

The anti-sliding performance of pavement is significant to the driving safety. In winter, frozen hazards are occurred easily in humid areas. Deicing salt is widely used to dealing with freezing for its reasonable price and remarkable effects. However, the usage of deicing salt dramatically damages environment and concrete structures. Through some tests and comparative analysis of deicing effects, the results do not rise with the increase in the amount of salt. Therefore, the optimum amount of deicing salt was proposed to minimize environment damage based on the premise of deicing.
