Abstract
To promptly identify and resolve quality issues in the connection joints of steel structure bridges and ensure the connection effectiveness of such bridges, this paper analyzes mainstream inspection technologies for welded joints, bolted joints, and riveted joints, based on the primary quality problems encountered in the connection joints of steel structure bridges. The aim is to provide references for the subsequent inspection of connection joints in steel structure bridge projects.
