Effect of Carbon Fiber Admixture and Length on Microwave Deicing Efficiency of Airport Road Surface Concrete by Yi-peng Ning, Jin-yu Xu, He Huang, Zhi-hang Wang, Ao Yao

“…The results of the study show that the appropriate amount of carbon fiber blended into the concrete can significantly improve the microwave deicing efficiency, and the reasonable use of carbon fiber-modified concrete can achieve the purpose of efficient deicing of the airport road surface. By analyzing the temperature rise curve, temperature rise rate curve, deicing effect, and infrared thermography of the microwave deicing process, combined with the “heat generation-heat dissipation” theory, the microwave deicing is divided into four stages: concrete wave absorption, water layer formation, ice thinning, and ice breaking and ice melting. …”
