  • Abstract:
    The Fracture Control Plan (FCP) deals with bridges containing fracture critical members so they can hardly be classed as a "general run of bridge". Brevity, nevertheless, is desirable in any code providing the code exercises the necessary controls. The FCP as written is based primarily on the American Welding Society's AWS D1.1 Structural Welding Code which contains 125 single-spaced pages ,in Sections 1 through 9 inclusive, including 19 single-spaced pages in the AASHTO revision of AWS D1.1. The FCP contains 140 double-spaced pages, superseding both of these specifications. Those designing and fabricating bridge members should be very familiar with AWS D1.1 and, therefore, should find it easy to work with the FCP by a direct comparison between the provisions of AWS D1.1 and the amended provisions of the FCP. The California Department of Transportation ''Standard Specifications for Welding Structural Steel January 1978", and the New York State STEEL CONSTRUCTION MANUAL, which are used by those States in lieu of AWS D1.1, cannot easily be compared with each other or with AWS D1.1 because their paragraphing is not the same as AWS D1.1.
