The invention relates to a rapid bridge detection method, which belongs to the technical field of civil engineering application. Firstly, a loading test vehicle with known axle load and wheelbase is adopted for loading to measure response of a test point; then, a method of adopting a specific function (piecewise polynomial and sine wave stacking) to fit the dynamic response of the test point is adopted to extract influence line information of the bridge; a tire-pavement stress distribution emprical formula is introduced to build a tire-pavement contact force trapezoid distribution model; in combination of the actual influence line information and the vehicle tire-pavement contact force distribution model, a linear superposition method is adopted to reconstruct bridge test point response information under different vehicle load combination effects, and thus, rapid bridge detection based on the influence lines is realized. Based on few driving tests on a single vehicle, the actual influence line information can be acquired rapidly and accurately, the bridge response information under different static load combination working conditions is reconstructed, rapid bridge detection is achieved, and the defects that the existing bridge detection method is long in consumed time, high in economic cost and long in traffic block time can be solved.
