Abstract The use of carbon-fiber heating cables (CFHC) to achieve effective melting of snow and ice deposited on roads is a
method used worldwide. In this study, tensile and compressive tests have been conducted to analyze the mechanical properties of the CFHC and assess whether the maximum tensile and compressive strengths can meet the
pavement design specifications. In order to study the aging produced by multiple cycles of heating and cooling,
in particular, the CFHC was repeatedly heated in a cold chamber with an ambient temperature ranging between
−20°C and +40°C. Moreover, to evaluate how the More >
