Abstract:

This report presents the following three recent projects on load testing of geosynthetic-reinforced soil (GRS) bridge abutments and piers: a full-scale bridge pier load test conducted by the Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center, Federal Highway Administration, in 1996 (referred to as the Turner-Fairbank pier); a full-scale, long-term load test of a bridge abutment and a bridge pier conducted by the Colorado Department of Transportation and the University of Colorado at Denver in 1996-1997 (referred to as the Havana Yard piers and abutment); and a production bridge abutment load test conducted by Yenter Companies in Black Hawk, Colorado, in 1997 (referred to as the Black Hawk Abutment). All the bridge supporting structures were instrumented to measure their performance during the load test. The effect of preloading was also investigated in the Turner-Fairbank pier and the Black Hawk abutment. The report describes each of the projects in detail, presents the measured test results and discussion of the results, and offers recommendations on the applications of the GRS bridge abutments and piers.
