Prolonged periods of snowfall in countries with advanced infrastructure and transport systems have rendered the use of de-icing agents to a common occurrence on roads and highway structures. They are necessary in order to maintain a good level of service with respect to the transport systems, thus avoiding traffic jams and disruptions, but also to provide a high level of road safety. Today, chloride-based products, such as rock salt, are the most commonly encountered de-icers as they are easy to apply and store but mostly because they efficiently melt ice at an affordable price [1]. However, their widespread use over a long period has left the construction industry and the engineering community with a grave problem regarding the durability of highway reinforced concrete bridges and multi-storey parking structures [2], due mainly to the fact that they cause corrosion of the reinforcement and steel components [2, 3].
