About this document
Understanding Fracture Critical Members by terrylin111 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document discusses fracture critical members (FCMs) in steel bridges and the fracture control plan (FCP) used to prevent brittle fractures. The FCP has three parts: material and design requirements, fabrication and inspection, and field inspection. To be classified as an FCM, a member must be in net tension and its failure would likely cause bridge collapse. The FCP aims to minimize defects and ensure tough materials to prevent brittle fractures in these critical non-redundant members. Engineers must p
