Abstract:

This manual outlines the state of the art and recommended practice for designing and constructing geosynthetic reinforced soil (GRS) technology for the application of abutments and the Integrated Bridge System (IBS). It was developed to provide engineers with the necessary background knowledge of GRS technology and its fundamental characteristics as an alternative to other construction methods. This manual presents step-by-step guidance on the design of GRS-IBS using the Load and Resistance Factor Design methodology. Material specifications for standard GRS-IBS are also provided. Detailed construction guidance is presented along with methods for the inspection, performance monitoring, maintenance, and repair of GRS-IBS. Quality assurance and quality control procedures are also covered. The procedures presented are based on 40 years of State and Federal research and deployment efforts focused on GRS technology for bridge support.
Content Notes:

This manual supersedes the "Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil Integrated Bridge System Interim Implementation Guide."
