Design and Construction Guidelines for Geosynthetic-Reinforced Soil Bridge Abutments with a Flexible Facing
TRB’s National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 556: Design and Construction Guidelines for Geosynthetic-Reinforced Soil Bridge Abutments with a Flexible Facing, presents the findings of research undertaken to develop a rational design method and construction guidelines for using geosynthetic-reinforced soil (GRS) systems in bridge abutments. The report includes two appendixes. A third appendix, “Verification of the Analytical Model, ” is available as NCHRP Web-Only Document 81.
