LARGE SCALE TESTS ON MIXED SALTS IN AUSTRIA /IN GERMAN/

TESTS WERE CARRIED OUT ON A MOUNTAIN ROAD IN CARINTHIA, AUSTRIA, IN THE WINTER OF 1967/8 WITH SODIUM CHLORIDE TO WHICH WAS ADDED 25% OF CALCIUM CHLORIDE IN EXTREME CASES. THE TESTS WERE UNDERTAKEN OVER A PERIOD OF 149 DAYS, AND OBSERVATIONS WERE CARRIED OUT TWICE DAILY. VEHICLES USING THE ROAD AMOUNTED TO 1127 PER DAY IN THE WINTER OF 1965. IT WAS FOUND THAT SALTING HAD TO BE COMBINED WITH SNOW CLEARANCE WHEN THERE WERE HEAVY FALLS OF SNOW. A SUMMARY IS GIVEN OF THE COSTS OF TREATING THE EXPERIMENTAL ROAD. /FG/RRL/
