Abstract: Research on chloride ion’s diffusion mechanism in concrete under the situation which
combines applied mechanical stress and environmental actions load is approaching the real
damage process and the actual behavior of concrete in service. A modified test rig and a new
test method to test the chloride ion’s diffusion in concrete under tension was proposed by the
RILEM TC 246-TDC through the comparative test. Test results showed that the effect caused
by the combination of tensile load and environmental loads usually may turn out to be much
more severe than the effect of single component. A field case in Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao
Bridge was also included. Deep work in this field, such as service life prediction, needs to be
done in the future.
