Résumé
Ice accretion on cable-stayed bridge surfaces increases loading, affects the structures' aerodynamic behavior, and heightens the risk of ice pieces detaching and falling onto bridge traffic. Here we propose a comprehensive laboratory-based procedure for evaluating materials to reduce ice accretion and prevent ice shedding on cable-stayed bridge. We then assess our laboratory-based procedure by testing four high-density polyethylene sheath configurations for cable-stayed bridges. These sheaths differ in their surface finishes, chemistry, and surface roughness. We present a three-step controlled-environment procedure involving (i) the physical characterization of the surface; (ii) an evaluation of surface behavior under laboratory icing tests; and (iii) an assessment of ice accretion at −10 °C under freezing rain conditions, followed by shedding and melting phases. This testing procedure provides a simple means of evaluating geometric changes and surface modifications, including icephobicity, under repeatable and comparable conditions. Our approach could serve in the design and optimization of materials prior to their deployment under actual operational conditions.
