Abstract: Chloride threshold values are very important regarding to the durability of concrete bridge in marine environment. In this paper the chloride threshold values were determined at atmosphere zone, splash zone and tidal zone respectively at concrete bridges along Yanwei Offshore Expressway by detecting and analyzing the indexes related to structure durability, such as chloride ion concentration, thickness of concrete cover, half-cell potential of rebar, electrical resistivity of concrete. Prediction method of durability resisting to chloride ingress is proposed based on the chloride threshold and the chloride ion concentration of rebar surface.
