Ground-coupled heat pumps are widely applied in cold regions, but soil thermal imbalances
in some projects greatly deteriorate the systems' practical performances and heavily inhibit …

Increasing and projected shortages in non-renewable energy sources have directed
attention toward the potential for using regenerated energy from road traffic. There are …

A one-dimensional mathematical model was developed, based on the fundamental energy
balance, to calculate the pavement near-surface temperatures using hourly measured solar …

Melting snow with a hydronic heating system can eliminate the need for snow removal by
chemical or mechanical means and provide greater safety for pedestrians and vehicles. So …

This paper investigates the snow melting process on asphalt pavements as solar collector
by experiments and numerical simulation. A numerical simulation method was used to …

Hydronic or electric heating of pavement surfaces has been used in the prevention of ice
formation and snow deposition with the aim of improving transportation safety. This paper …

Hydronic snow melting pavement systems have been proposed as an energy conservation
technology for pavement snow removal in response to global climate change. However, the …

Temperature distribution which occurs in pavement and bridge slabs heated for de-icing and
snow melting during cold periods is determined by using vertical ground-source heat pump …

This paper investigates the thermal response of asphalt pavements as solar collector by
application of small-scale asphalt slabs. The copper tubes were embedded in the asphalt …

The paper summarizes the relative influence of different pavement thermophysical
properties on the thermal response of pavement cross sections and how their relative …
