To achieve real-time, sustainable, efficient, and environmentally friendly active deicing of bridge decks, a new active electric heating deicing technology based on conductive rubber as a heat source is proposed in this study. The conductive rubber was laid between asphalt layer and cement layer as the functional deicing layer, and the conductive rubber active deicing composite bridge deck pavement structure was established. The interlayer treatment method of conductive rubber active deicing composite structure was proposed. Styrene butadiene styrene–modified asphalt, PB-II type polymer-modified asphalt waterproof coating, and AMP-100 second-order reactive waterproofing coating were selected as waterproofing bonding layer. The interlayer shear performance of conductive rubber composite structure was tested and evaluated by 45° inclined shear test. Taking shear strength as the evaluation index of interlayer shear performance, the durability of interlayer shear performance of conductive rubber composite bridge deck pavement in complex environment was studied. Taking the fatigue life as the evaluation index, the interlayer fatigue resistance of conductive rubber composite bridge deck and traditional bridge deck under different stress ratios were analyzed. The results showed that shear strength between the layers of the conductive rubber active snow-melting bridge deck pavement structure using PB-II type waterproof bonding layer material was the highest, which was 0.584 MPa, and the optimum dosage was 1.5 kg/m2. Under the complex environment, the interlayer shear performance of conductive rubber composite bridge deck pavement decreases, which could still be maintained at about 70 % and had certain durability. Under the same interlaminar shear stress, the interlaminar shear fatigue life of the conductive rubber active snow-melting bridge deck was reduced by about 34 % compared with the traditional bridge deck. The research results can provide a theoretical basis and data support for the structural design of conductive rubber active deicing bridge deck pavement and the selection of waterproof bonding layer materials.
