摘要: |
The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) has initiated pretreatment as an integral part of a winter management strategy. Currently forty gallons per lane mile of 23%salt brine (NaCl) by weight is applied at a minimum frequency of two times per week when conditions warrant. In order for ODOT to develop the most effective plan for pretreatment, an in-situ study to provide data on decay of brine on trafficked pavement was needed. Objectives included a survey of other state DOT's pretreatment protocols, laboratory studies to discern brine concentrations that precluded ice formation, brine decay with traffic and time on several pavements, and correlation of laboratory and field data. |
