An instrumentation and monitoring system was implemented for a geosynthetic reinforced soil (GRS) integrated bridge

system (IBS) constructed in Boone County, Missouri in 2014. The project location is subjected to relatively frequent flash

flooding, which was a significant consideration in the design of the bridge and the design of the monitoring system. The

monitoring system includes 26 surveying points on the bridge exterior to monitor external movement; settlement plates and

inclinometers to monitor vertical and horizontal exterior movement, respectively; earth pressure cells to monitor total

stresses within the abutment backfill; and vibrating wire piezometers to monitor pore pressures and drainage within the

abutment backfill. The GRS-IBS was monitored for a period of 19 months after construction. The monitoring period

included several high-water events, but none overtopped the bridge. The results indicate satisfactory performance,

including negligible external and internal movements and rapid backfill drainage in response to groundwater level

increases.
