Geothermal Energy for Bridge Deck and Pavement Deicing—A Brief Review
Geothermal energy is characterized as renewable, sustainable, clean (i.e. zero carbon emission) and directly used energy, which has been widely used in many engineering applications, such as ground source heat pumps (GSHP), geothermal energy piles (GEP), and soil borehole thermal energy storage (BTES). This paper presents a literature study of geothermal energy for deicing approach pavement slabs and bridge decks. The background with respect to the related applications of geothermal energy was firstly introduced. The working principle and design criteria of geothermal system were then presented for future field applications where the soil thermal conductivity is a key parameter that can be studied by our newly developed thermo-time domain reflectometry (TDR) probe. Several case studies in Europe and Asia were also reviewed to further demonstrate the feasibility and applicability of this innovative technology. The long term cost-benefit was finally analyzed, and some recommendations for field implementation were also provided.
