Steel of Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge

With the increased demands for prolonged life service of the superstructures, the durability of concrete erections is of great concern to the developers, and among the key factors that lead to concrete degradation, apparently, the corrosion is on the top list. The use of steel in such constructions have increased over time owing to a number of factors such as its lightweight, resistance to corrosion and the capacity to take any form. The use of stainless-steel reinforcements (SSRs) in the construction of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge has proved its essence and effectiveness in ensuring the durability of the superstructure erected in the marine environment. Despite its first use in Chinese Mainland, the stainless-steel reinforcements have been employed over years across the world.
