Abstract

One of the reasons of corrosion of bridges is airborne sea salt. The purpose of this study is to reduce the amount of sea salt adhesion by applying aerodynamic countermeasures such as noise barriers, horizontal plates and vertical plates to change the flow pattern around a bridge. The study bridge is composed of 8 I-shaped steel girders, which is the most typical shape in urban expres sways in Japan. The steady flow of wind around the bridge was analyzed by computational fluid dynamics (CFD) while changing the combination of additional devices. The results showed that simple additional devices can reduce the amount of airborne sea salt adhesion.
