Abstract
The increased demand for safe and efficient vehicle movement during the winter months has focused attention on the technology and practices for keeping snow and ice removed from roadways and runways. An international symposium was held for discussions of the technical aspects of current snow and ice control and of future work in this field. The subject of the papers ranged from the properties and structural composition of snow and ice through chemical technology for use in both forecasting and controlling snow and ice conditions to current practices in the application of this technology. For some papers presented at this symposium, see A 7738 – A 7744.
