2. Snowmelt system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowmelt_system

   A heated sidewalk in Holland, Michigan Installation of a geothermal snowmelt system on a street in Reykjavík, Iceland.. A snowmelt system prevents the build-up of snow and ice on cycleways, walkways, patios and roadways, or more economically, only a portion of the area such as a pair of 2-foot (0.61 m)-wide tire tracks on a driveway or a 3-foot (0.91 m) center portion of a sidewalk, etc.

3. Pykrete - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pykrete

   Pykrete features unusual properties, including a relatively slow melting rate due to its low thermal conductivity, as well as a vastly improved strength and toughness compared to ordinary ice. These physical properties can make the material comparable to concrete, as long as the material is kept frozen.

4. Frost damage (construction) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frost_damage_(construction)

   Frost damage of early-age concrete is particularly harmful for the concrete mechanical resistance because the ice volume expansion causes micro-cracks in the concrete structures, and as a consequence it lowers the compressive strength of concrete. [4]

6. Snow removal - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snow_removal

   Some individual buildings may melt snow and ice with electric heating elements buried in the pavement, or even on a roof to prevent ice dams on the shingles, or to keep massive chunks of snow and dangerous icicles from collapsing on anyone below. Small areas of pavement can be kept ice-free by circulating heated liquids in embedded piping systems.

7. Why salt melts ice — and how to use it on your sidewalk - AOL

   www.aol.com/news/chemists-told-us-why-salt...

   Ice has a semi-liquid surface layer; When you mix salt onto that layer, it slowly lowers its melting point.. The more surface area salt can cover, the better the chances for melting ice.. Ice ...
