摘要

It is common for reinforced concrete in the saline region to bear fatigue loading and chloride induced corrosion, which has become one of the main causes of structural failure of reinforced concrete. The objective of this paper is to investigate the characteristics of chloride ion transport in concrete under fatigue loading. A new theoretical model describing the chloride ion transport in saturated concrete under fatigue loading is proposed. In this model, the concrete is divided into two parts, matrix and microcrack, to characterize the chloride diffusion coefficient of concrete based on crack area. The influence of fatigue damage on the microcrack area of concrete is quantitatively analyzed and the relationship between fatigue loading and chloride diffusion coefficient is established. Then, based on Fick's second law, the model is proposed and solved by analytical solution. Some experiments are conducted to verify the proposed model and the simulated and measured results are in good agreement with each other. Finally, the characteristics of chloride ion transport under different influencing factors are analyzed using the proposed model.
