Abstract

In this paper, the method of melting snow with carbon fiber heating wire (CFHW) buried in concrete pavement is presented to avoid the adverse effects of snow-melting chemicals. The pavement temperature, heating rate and temperature difference are analyzed. It is shown that, with an input power of 500W/m 2 , the average temperature on pavement surface with 10cm CFHW spacing is higher than that of 15cm CFHW spacing when the air temperature is -5C and the wind speed is 1.0m/s. The temperature different on pavement surface with 10cm CFHW spacing can meet the requirement of the snow-melting temperature uniformity.
