Gee, it is interesting when someone actually tries to measure.
Staggemeir and Eakers performed coastdown tests on the salt in I think 88
and the data reportedly was something like 0.66 with good dry concrete
given at 1.0 Salt conditions were hard and dry. (I think)
Physics hasn't changed in 21 years has it?
Did I just say 21 years. Man doesn't time fly when you are having fun....
