Abstract:
Conductive concrete, when connected to a power source, can generate enough heat to prevent ice formation. This deicing technology was recently implemented in a handicap access ramp at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Lincoln, NE, USA. The article discusses the construction process, deicing operations, as well as the operating cost of using this technology.
