Developing durable and electrical conductive concrete composites for Quebec

This project focuses on the development of Electric Conductive Concrete (ECC) pavements which can efficiently reduce the cost of snow removal of Quebec. Recent research has proven that temperature regulated pavements can melt snow and ice. By taking advantage of all latest technology in conductive inclusions, the project aims will develop an optimized ECC mix design and characterize its durability performances. The technology transfer to a local company of such knowledge will foster the implementation of new solutions for heating pavements in Quebec.
