These guide specifications are intended to provide an analytical framework to evaluate the internal
redundancy of typical steel bridge members and designate primary steel members as Fracture Critical
Members (FCMs) or Internally Redundant Members (IRMs). They describe a procedure for evaluating
the internal redundancy of the built-up tension members of the tension components of flexural
members and axially loaded tension members. The guide specifications also include a methodology
to establish the interval for inspections specifically intended to identify whether any of the tension
components have failedÑa major departure from the current calendar-based approach to setting
inspection intervals. This 2018 3rd edition supersedes the 2011 2nd edition. 2018. 699 pp.

GUIDE SPECIFICATIONS FOR ANALYSIS AND IDENTIFICATION OF

FRACTURE CRITICAL MEMBERS AND SYSTEM REDUNDANT MEMBERS,
1ST EDITION
Item Code: GSFCM-1-UL

Fracture critical members (FCMs) are defined in the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications as
steel primary members, or portions thereof, subject to tension whose failure would probably cause
a portion of or the entire bridge to collapse. The decision to designate members as FCMs has often
been made without considering actual system redundancy or performance of the structure. Prior to
the development of these guide specifications, no standards existed on how to best perform a system
analysis to determine performance and response in the event an FCM is assumed to have failed. These
assessment procedures apply to typical steel bridges, including simple span and continuous I-girder
and tub girder bridges, through-girder bridges, truss bridges, and tied arch bridges. 2018. 58 pp.
