Abstract: This paper investigates the potential use of phase change materials (PCM) in concrete pavements to store heat, which can be used to reduce ice formation and snow accumulation on the surface of the concrete pavement. The thermal properties of the PCMs are evaluated using a low-temperature differential scanning calorimeter (LT-DSC) while a longitudinal guarded comparative calorimeter (LGCC) is used to evaluate the thermal response of cementitious mortar containing the PCM. Paraffin oil (petroleum based) and methyl laurate (vegetable based) were selected as PCMs since they have high enthalpies of fusion (
