High-rise pile cap structures, such as sea-crossing bridges, suffer from long-term degradation due to continuous corrosion and scour, which seriously endangers structural safety. However, there is a lack of research on this topic. This study focused on the long-term performance and dynamic response of bridge pile foundations, considering scour and corrosion effects. A refined modeling method for bridge pile foundations, considering scour-induced damage and corrosion-induced degradation, was developed by adjusting nonlinear soil springs and material properties. Furthermore, hydrodynamic characteristics and long-term performance, including hydrodynamic phenomena, wave force, energy, displacement, stress, and acceleration responses, were investigated through fluid-structure coupling analysis and pile-soil interactions. The results show that the horizontal wave forces acting on the high-rise pile cap are greater than the vertical wave forces, with the most severe wave-induced damage occurring in the wave splash zone. Steel and concrete degradation in the wave splash zone typically occurs sooner than in the atmospheric zone. The total energy of the structure at each moment under load is equal to the sum of internal energy and kinetic energy. Increased corrosion time and scour depth result in increased displacement and stress at the pile cap connection. The long-term dynamic response is mainly influenced by the second-order frequency (62 Hz).

Most of the current studies rely on simulated brine corrosion environments and lack long-term investigations into concrete corrosion damage evolution under actual corrosive conditions. In this paper, high-performance concrete (HPC) with various mix ratios is designed in the context of the Qinghai Salt Lake region in China, and the evolution of corrosion damage of HPC with different water-binder ratios (W/B) and different fly ash (FA) admixtures under long-term field exposure conditions is obtained by testing the ultrasonic velocity and strengths of the HPC in the field exposure of the HPC in the Qinghai Salt Lake region. The results show that the corrosion resistance of HPC is related to its water-binder ratio and mineral admixture type and dosage under the exposure of 8 years in Qinghai Salt Lake area. HPC with a fly ash dosage of 15-35% and silica fume dosage of 10% exhibits better corrosion resistance when the water-binder ratio (W/B) is between 0.24 and 0.38. The dependence relationship between the corrosion resistance coefficient of HPC and the relative dynamic elastic modulus (Erd) and 28 d standard maintenance strength was also established. The Erd of HPC with a corrosion resistance coefficient of 0.80 or above was 0.73-0.93, not 0.60, which provides an important experimental basis for determining the corrosion damage index of HPC in the high-saline brine environment of the salt lake.
