Scattering and Adhesion Characteristics of Anti-Freezing Salt in Parallel Bridges and the Effect of Bridge Arrangements

Key Points

• This research aims to investigate how bridge arrangements impact the scattering and adhesion of anti-freezing salt.
• Conducted visualization experiments using a wind tunnel to observe flow around parallel bridges.
• Classified bridge arrangements based on flow characteristics.
• Performed calculations on particle behavior for different bridge arrangements under varying conditions.
• Adhesion of anti-freezing salt to main girders is highest under standard bridge arrangements.
• Non-standard configurations can result in significant adhesion influenced by wind direction and particle size.
