Aiming at the core problem of time-varying microstructures and performance of the concrete materials in the process of formation and service under the coastal environment of our country, and based on the optimization and regulation of the microstructures of the concrete materials which have been carried out in the previous period. Based on the microstructure optimization and regulation of concrete materials carried out in the previous period, we use modern testing and computer simulation techniques to reveal the microstructure formation and evolution of concrete materials under the multi-field coupling conditions of temperature/wetness/salt, establish a multiscale model of coastal concrete from microscopic to macroscopic, and put forward a method of regulating and optimizing the modification of concrete materials in service in the coastal environment, so as to prolong the service life of the concrete structural system and to realize the enhancement of the durability of the coastal concrete materials.
