Based on a specific prefabricated concrete bridge project, this study established a detection framework according to the inspection requirements for its connection joints and developed a combined application scheme for multiple detection techniques. Practical application demonstrates that the proposed detection scheme yields significant results and is expected to serve as a reference for subsequent research and practice on quality inspection technologies for connection joints of prefabricated concrete bridges.</abstract><keywords>Prefabricated concrete bridge, Infrared thermography, Ultrasonic nondestructive testing, Electromagnetic induction testing, Rebound hammer testing</keywords></article-meta></front><body/><back><ref-list><ref id="B1" content-type="article"><label>1</label><element-citation publication-type="journal"><p>[1] Yang CM, Cao H, Chen XW, 2026, Key Technologies and Engineering Verification of Lightning Protection Detection for Long‑Span Bridges.&amp;nbsp;Urban Roads, Bridges and Flood Control, 2026(6): 285&amp;ndash;289 + 360.
