Inspection of Fracture Critical Bridge Members. Supplement to the Bridge Inspector's Training Manual
The purpose of this manual is to enhance the training of bridge inspectors so that they understand the critical components of a bridge structure and recogonize the signs of impending trouble in these critical members. This manual is intended to be used as a guideline for bridge inspectors active in the National Bridge Inspection Standard (NBIS) routine two-year cycle inspection program. It is not intended that this manual stand alone, but that it supplement the Federal Highway Administration's 'Bridge Inspector's Training Manual 70'. Chapter 1 of this Fracture Critical Manual outlines the qualification, duties, responsibilities, skills, and equipment necessary to accomplish a detailed inspection of fracture critical members. Chapter 2 provides a simplified explanation of structural analysis of beams and trusses, and discusses various nonredundant framing types. Chapter 3 explains the fatigue mechanism and other modes of failure. Chapter 4 deals with inspections and testing procedures. Chapter 5 discusses evaluation, documentation, and reporting procedures. The manual also contains an annotated bibliography of related literature.
