Abstract
Chemicals used in the snow and ice control operations (also known as deicers) may cause corrosion damage to the transportation infrastructure such as reinforced or pre-stressed concrete structures and steel bridges. This review presents a synthesis of information regarding the impacts of both chloride-based and acetate/formate-based deicers on metals especially steel rebar in concrete, common test methods to quantify such impacts, and counter measures to manage such impacts. There are many ways to manage the corrosive effects of deicers, such as: selection of high-quality concrete,adequate concrete cover and alternative reinforcement, control of the ingressand accumulation of deleterious species, injection of beneficial species into concrete, and use of non-corrosive deicer alternatives and optimal application rates.
