Surveys of highway connected agencies and an extensive literature search of maintenance research in the U.S., Great Britain, and Europe were conducted to compile a review of existing nonchemical methods of snow removal and ice control of concrete surfaces. Details of permanent installations, the water pipe and electrical heating element customarily installed in concrete slabs, are given. Potential applications of electrical and gas-fired infrared heaters are discussed. other methods investigated included covered bridges, electrically conductive road surfaces, snow melting pits, and bridge deck insulation.

A current state-of-the-art survey is presented with regard to painting of highway structural steel. A thorough literature review was conducted and an inspection and evaluation made of more than 4,000 paint exposure tests. Paint film thickness measurement studies were made. Specific recommendations are given for selecting typical paint systems on the basis of six environmental zones, which represent the range of severity of environment in which highway steel structures are located in the United States. Model specifications are suggested for surface preparation, application, material procurement, and paint system.
