A fracture critical bridge is a structure where the failure of a single component could cause the entire span to collapse, since there's no redundancy to carry the load if that piece fails. This category includes many older steel truss and girder bridges that were designed before redundant load paths became standard practice. Because of this vulnerability, a fracture critical bridge requires inspection protocols that go well beyond routine visual assessment. Inspectors need hands-on access to every fracture critical member, often requiring specialized equipment like snooper trucks or scaffolding to reach areas that standard inspections might overlook.
