Ice melting effect and mechanical response analysis of the conductive ultra-thin anti-skidding wearing course

In order to study the effect of melting ice and the mechanical response of the pavement on the Conductive Ultra-Thin Anti-Skidding Wearing Course (CUAWC) under different ambient temperature, ice thickness and input power. Firstly, epoxy resin is used as the bonding material, graphite and carbon fiber are used as the conductive material to prepare the CUAWC. The results show that the input power dominates the melting effect of the CUAWC, followed by the ambient temperature and the thickness of the ice layer. Then using ABAQUS for finite element modeling, the road surface mechanical response analysis of the CUAWC under the conditions of fixed input power, ambient temperature and ice thickness is simulated. The results show that under the no-loading effect, the temperature stress generated by the structural load-bearing layer of CUAWC during the process of melting and snowing does not have much influence on the structure of the pavement.
