Abstract: An innovative retaining wall system was adopted for the construction of a ramp connecting Interstate-25 and Interstate-70 in Colorado. The retaining wall system, known as the independent full-height facing (IFF) reinforced ...

Abstract: It had been reported, through observation of actual field installations, that the inclusion of tensile reinforcement in the approach fill behind bridge abutments can effectively reduce approach fill settlement, and hence ...

Abstract: Compared to geosynthetic-reinforced soil (GRS) retaining walls, GRS abutment walls are generally subjected to much greater intensity surface loads that are fairly close to the wall face. A major issue with the design of ...

Abstract: Geosynthetic-reinforced soil (GRS) bridge-supporting abutments are similar in principle to GRS retaining walls, except that GRS abutments are typically subjected to a much higher area load, and that the loads are close to ...

Abstract: A study was undertaken to investigate the bearing capacity of rectangular footings on geogrid‐reinforced sand by performing laboratory model tests as well as finite‐element analyses. The effects of the depth to the first ...
