Based on Monte Carlo method, Python and Abaqus interface were used for secondary development, and an interfacial transition zone was generated to distinguish between natural coarse aggregates and new and old interfacial transition zone(ITZ) and recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) 2D meso-five phase model of new and old mortar. An improved moisture-chloride ion coupling model under dry-wet cycles was proposed, and the computational results of this model were compared and validated against physical experiments, with good agreement. This model was then applied to analyze the effects of dry-wet cycle periods, ITZ permeability, water-cement ratio, and natural aggregate volume fraction on chloride ion transport properties. The numerical results show that as the number of dry-wet cycles increases, the diffusion depth and concentration of chloride ions in RAC also increases. When the ratio of ITZ diffusion coefficient to the new mortar diffusion coefficient increases, the chloride ion concentration in the diffusion region increases significantly, especially at the front end of the diffusion zone. In addition, there is a positive correlation between RAC materials with different water-cement ratios and chloride ion transport capacity, with little variation in chloride ion transport performance within the high water-cement ratio range. Finally, the volume fraction of recycled aggregates has a significant impact on the chloride ion permeability of RAC, indicating that the ITZ and new and old mortar have an important influence on the transport of chloride ions.
