Abstract
Provided is an artificial reef, including a bottom plate, a reef main body of a hollow structure and connected to the bottom plate, and a pipe rack arranged in the reef main body. Two ends of the reef main body are open. All sides of the reef main body are obliquely arranged from bottom to top towards an inner side. The pipe rack is formed by assembling multiple pipe bodies into a grid shape. The pipe bodies are in communication with each other at intersections. Both ends of each pipe body extend through and are fixed to two sides of the reef main body respectively to communicate with the outside. The bottom plate and the reef main body are made of a reinforced concrete structure, and the reinforced concrete structure is made of high corrosion-resistant steel bars and modified seawater and sea sand concrete.
