Abstract: The domestic steel bridge welded joint strength and toughness matching is reviewed.Steel plate and welding material test data show that:the range of raw materials fluctuation strength is large,bringing greater difficulties to strength match.Therefore,limitations on strength range is needed in raw material standerds;In some programs,the weld seam strength limitation index lack of theoretical basis.There is a need for thematic research to develop a reasonable range of fluctuations based on each cases.
