Study on the Deterioration Process of Cast-in-Place Hinged Joints in Hollow Slab Bridge under Deicing Salt Environment

Fabricated hollow slab bridge is commonly used in China. It is indicated that the hinged joints between hollow slabs are easily damaged. Especially under the erosion of chloride salt, the destruction process of hinged joints will be greatly exacerbated. In this paper, deicing salt environment was simulated in the lab to corrode the commonly used hinged joints. According to static load test results, hollow slab coordinated working coefficient is explored and the regression calculation formula was established. Then, the time-varying function of the rate of hinged joint steel corrosion was introduced to the regression model. Finally, the constantly evaluating of the hinged joint durability performance of common used deep, middle and low hinged joint forms were also carried out.
