Abstract

The ice accumulation on bridge cables in extreme cold climate threatens the safety of the bridge and the passing people or vehicles. This article aims to introduce a technology for using a hydrophobic electric heating film to prevent ice accumulation and its application method on cable sheaths of cable-stayed bridges. The combination of electric deicing and hydrophobic coating is proposed to avoid the defects of high energy consumption and poor deicing effect of hydrophobic coating. In addition, artificial icing tests were carried out on bridge cable sheath samples with different surface. By analyzing the results of icing tests, obtained the anti-icing mechanism of hydrophobic electric heating film. This technology could effectively prevent ice formation, speeds up ice removal, and offers significant advantages in anti-icing applications. Based on experimental results, the application of hydrophobic electric heating film on bridge could significantly reduce the threat of icing disaster to urban traffic safety.
