Abstract
In recent decades, with the increasing demand of long-span bridges and the continuous progress of construction technology, steel truss bridges have been more and more widely used. In general, the joint form of steel truss bridge can be divided into two types: splice joint and integral joint. The selections of the joint forms in steel truss bridges have gradually become the focus of the designers and researchers. Based on the engineering cases of steel truss bridges, this paper introduces the characteristics and advantages of the splice joint and the integral joint, respectively. The engineering performances of these two kinds of joints are compared under the same working condition. The corresponding conclusions on joint selection are obtained, and the prospect of joint design for steel truss bridges is proposed.
