TECHNICAL ANALYSIS OF ROAD SNOW MELTING AND DEICING WITH ULTRA-THIN CONDUCTIVE WEAR LAYER
The ultra-thin conductive wearing layer (UCWL) de-icing technology is a new method for snow and ice removal on roads, which is of great significance for ensuring safe driving on winter ice and snow-covered roads. In this paper, the finite element (FE) method is used to model and analyze the road with an UCWL. The mechanical re-sponse of the road structure under traffic loads and temperature loads is studied. The calculation results show that under the coupling effect of temperature and driving load, the stress in the road surface layer slightly increases com-pared to their individual effects, while the strain decreases compared to the vehicle's individual effects. As the ambi-ent temperature decreases, the stress and strain in the pavement structure layer will increase.
