The effects of chloride-based deicing chemicals on degradation of portland cement mortars with alkali reactive aggregate
… to the combined effects of long-term exposure to deicers, freezing and thawing cycles, and wetting and drying cycles. In order to develop a more comprehensive view of these topics, the present study was conducted in three phases. The focus of the first phase was on studying the effects of the …

The Development and Optimization of Raman Spectroscopy Analyses for Mobile Salinity Sensing
… consisting of the five most common salt deicers: sodium, calcium, and magnesium chloride, potassium acetate, and calcium magnesium acetate. The Raman spectra are analyzed using previously proven methods for determining chloride salt concentration that were optimized to work with both …

Influence of Silane Penetrating Sealer on Deicer Scaling and Absorption of Concrete Highway Pavement
… including poor mix designs, reaction with deicers, and to fluid absorption. This study discusses the scaling on the surface of concrete produced using different aggregates, sawing techniques and equipment, and their performance after applying silane to the surface. In total 30 samples with …

Properties of natural systems and the efficiency of market-based solutions to environmental externalities
… problem of aquifer contamination from highway deicers. I compare my theoretical results to those from previous economic studies of groundwater pollution and describe how my model can provide a framework to evaluate the potential effectiveness of different policy instruments to manage different …

Expansive mineral growth and concrete deterioration: a microstructural and microanalytical study
… chemicals were conducted to evaluate the role of deicers in premature deterioration. In the third phase, experiments were done to evaluate whether crystallization inhibitors can reduce damage and the growth of secondary minerals in concrete and to help understand the mechanism of deterioration by …

Quantifying factors that influence road deicer retention and export in a multi-landuse Upstate New York watershed
… surface, thus suggesting an accumulation of deicers in groundwater as well. These observations are consistent with seasonal cation and anion data which suggests baseflow composition retains elevated de-icer levels year-round in parts of the watershed.</p> <p>Concentration/Discharge (C/Q) …
