  1. 1. Toward Anti-icing and De-icing Surfaces : Effects of Surface Topography and Temperature

    Författare :Golrokh Heydari; Per Claesson; Eric Tyrode; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; anti-icing; topography; supercooled water; wetting hysteresis; superhydrophobic; contact angle; nucleation; freezing delay; de-icing; ice adhesion; hydration water; liquid-like layer; smooth; lubrication; anti-is; topografi; underkylt vatten; vätningshysteres; superhydrofob; kontaktvinkel; kärnbildning; avisning; isadhesion; hydrerat vatten; vätskeliknande skikt; smörjning; Kemi; Chemistry;

    Sammanfattning : Icing severely affects society, especially in the Nordic countries. Iceaccumulation can result in critical performance problems and safetyconcerns for instance in road, air and sea transportation, transmissionlines, marine and offshore structures, wind turbines and heat exchangers.

  3. 2. De-icing salt and the roadside environment : Air-borne exposure, damage to Norway spruce and system monitoring

    Författare :Göran Blomqvist; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :road; de-icing salt; air-borne; environmental impact; vegetation damage; Norway spruce; seedling; follow-up; monitoring; indicator;

    Sammanfattning : After decades of investigation, we still have to deal withthe problem of environmental effects of the use of de-icingsalt on roads. Lacking useful indicators of the system, westill do not know the environmental utility of ameliorativemeasures taken. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Monitoring transport and fate of de-icing salt in the roadside environment : Modelling and field measurements

    Författare :Annika Lundmark; Per-Erik Jansson; Bo Olofsson; Ann-Catrine Norrström; Helen K. French; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Chloride; De-icing salt; Groundwater; Modelling; Monitoring; Road; Roadside; Soil water; Water in nature and society; Vatten i natur och samhälle;

    Sammanfattning : Roads and traffic are a major non-point source of pollutants and may have severe impacts on surface water, groundwater, soil and vegetation. In cold climates, de-icing salt is one such pollutant that may cause increased chloride concentrations and induce other effects on the environment. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Experimental Study of De-icing Salt-frost Scaling in Concrete with Low-calcium Fly Ash or Slag : Influence of Drying and Carbonation, and Air Content

    Författare :Martin Strand; Avdelningen för Byggnadsmaterial; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Betong; Cement; Beständighet; Tösalt-frost avskalning; Tillsatsmaterial; Masugnsslagg; Flygaska; Concrete; Durability; De-icing salt-frost scaling; Cement based materials; Supplementary cementitious materials SCMs ; Ground granulated blast furnace slag; Low-calcium fly ash;

    Sammanfattning : In order to reduce the net climate impact of concrete production, it is necessary for the industry to undertake several actions. Among these is to include fly ash and slag as supplementary cementitious materials. Accordingly, this project has studied concrete containing low-calcium fly ash or ground-granulated blast-furnace slag. LÄS MER

  7. 5. New methods for improving winter road maintenence

    Författare :Mats Riehm; Per-Erik Jansson; Torbjörn Gustavsson; Klas Hansson; Meelis Mölder; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Winter road maintenance; Sensors; Infrared thermometry; Energy efficiency; De-icing salt; Other civil engineering and architecture; Övrig samhällsbyggnadsteknik och arkitektur;

    Sammanfattning : Winter road maintenance activities are crucial for maintaining the accessibility and traffic safety of the road network during winters. Common winter road maintenance activities include plowing and the use of de-icing agents (e.g. NaCl) to avoid freezing. LÄS MER
