Abstract: Chloride ingress behavior is one of the main reasons to cause the durability failure of concrete structures. It is of great significance to study chloride transport behavior in concrete and further establish the corresponding transport theory for durability evaluation of marine concrete. At present, there are relatively few studies on the relationship between real sea exposure and indoor simulated tidal areas action for the chloride ingress into concrete, and the similar mechanism of chloride ion erosion is still unclear. Based on this, a time-varying model of chloride diffusion coefficient under different marine environmental zones and water-cement ratios was established according to the conducted experimental investigations. The similarity analysis of chloride diffusion coefficient of concrete with different mix ratios exposed to the real-marine and indoor simulated environments was carried out. Combining with the model of Fick's second law, the similarity analysis method of chloride diffusion coefficient considering the time-varying characteristics was proposed. The research shows that a time-varying model by using the power function can well describe the variation of chloride diffusion coefficient over time, which is more in line with the actual situation. According to the experimental analysis for the real sea exposure and the indoor simulation test, the similarity of apparent chloride diffusion coefficient gradually becomes stable as time goes by. It is effective to predict the chloride ingress behavior under long-term exposure in the real sea by using the short-term indoor simulation data, which provides a theoretical basis for the durability evaluation and life prediction of concrete exposed to the marine tidal zone.
