Abstract

This report is one volume of a nine-volume report associated with the Cold Weather Transit Technology (CWTT) program of the Urban Mass Transportation Administration. The objective of the program is to improve existing transportation operations during severe cold ice and snow environments and to develop new and more effective methods for assuring the dependable operation of the system in severe winter conditions. The findings of this program are intended to assist administrators, designers, planners, operators, suppliers, and others involved in the design, implementation, and operation of mass transit systems which operate in cold weather environments. This volume addresses the fundamental properties of materials which are affected by ice and snow in transit system normal operation. It presents basic research results in eight areas which focus on the fundamental information necessary to deal with the effects of ice and snow on transit systems. These eight areas are identified candida...
