This project is in accordance with AD/ENG Bulletin 85-25 for Innovative         and Novel Research.                                                                                                                                             The problem of ice formation on highways and bridges is a constant cause        of accidents and fatalities in northern climates, in addition to the            cost of providing materials to reduce the hazard.  Salts, sand and ashes        of various types have been used to reduce the icing effect, but these           precautions do not eliminate the cause of icing.                                                                                                                This project will explore fundamental studies on the formation of ice to        pavement bond and to explore methods by which the bond formation may be         prevented.  The study will involve the correlation of chemical and              mechanical behavior to determine the mechanism o> ice formation and             investigate methods of deicing to eliminate the action.  The effect of          surface agents and hydrophobic coatings will be investigated.                                                                                                   The researcher is qualified to perform this investigation.  This is a           one time award for 12 months.
