[0002] With the rapid development of railway construction in my country, the number of cross-sea bridges is increasing. However, the environment around cross-sea bridges is extremely harsh. In addition to bearing the live load of upper trains, they must also meet the durability requirements of strong winds, large waves, and highly corrosive environments. Under the long-term effects of harsh environments and loads, cross-sea bridges have experienced varying degrees of concrete protective layer peeling, steel bar corrosion and other problems within the design life. Their maintenance and reinforcement are extremely difficult and costly. Therefore, the durability design of cross-sea bridges has become a key research topic.
[0003] To improve the durability of bridges in marine environments, the commonly used method is to start with the building materials themselves to improve their corrosion resistance. For example, adding fly ash, silica fume, water reducer and other admixtures to concrete can effectively improve the durability, stability, density and impermeability of concrete. High-performance concrete is used to inhibit the diffusion of chloride ions, thereby improving durability. Engineering practice has proved that relying solely on improving the performance of the main structure building materials still results in a large number of bridge pier corrosion.
