Defect Inspection Technology for Steel Truss Suspension Bridges

Abstract

Steel truss suspension bridges are prone to developing defects after prolonged use. These defects may include corrosion of the main cable or the steel truss. To ensure the normal and safe functioning of the suspension bridge, it is necessary to inspect for defects promptly, understand the cause of the defect, and locate it through the use of inspection technology. By promptly addressing defects, the suspension bridge's safety can be ensured. The author has analyzed the common defects and causes of steel truss suspension bridges and proposed specific inspection technologies. This research is intended to aid in the timely discovery of steel truss suspension bridge defects.
