Deicing, Graphite Powder, Copper Mesh, Conductive.
This paper discuss about the removal of ice or snow formation from the pavements, airport runways, parking garages and the building roof etc..,. Through the de-Icing concrete the conventional concrete containing a certain amount of electrically conductive components (steel scraps, graphite powder and copper mesh) to induce electrical conductivity in concrete and generate heat for melting the ice or snow on the surfaces by using this concrete.
