The application of Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC) in bridge structures has become an important research direction in modern bridge engineering due to its remarkable high strength and excellent durability. Studies have shown that UHPC not only has significant advantages in terms of compressive, flexural and impact resistance, but also can effectively resist erosion from environmental factors, thereby extending the service life of bridges. This paper analyzes the durability of UHPC bridge structures, explores their performance under different environmental conditions, and compares the differences with traditional concrete. The microstructure and additive composition of UHPC play a decisive role in its durability, which provides new ideas and basis for bridge design and maintenance. In addition, this paper puts forward corresponding solutions to the possible challenges of UHPC in bridge design, and discusses the potential and development directions of future research.
