Construction of a Geosynthetic-Reinforced Soil Bridge Abutment in Slovenia
The construction of geosynthetic-reinforced soil bridge abutments have been receiving increased attention and interest, mainly because these structures can be put into service quickly and are an economic alternative to conventional bridge abutments. This article reports the results of a full-scale instrumented geosynthetic-reinforced soil bridge abutment in Slovenia. A 16-m-long concrete bridge was constructed in 2018 in the town of Sodna Vas, Slovenia. The geosynthetic reinforced soil bridge abutment was seated on a saturated soft foundation layer. The lower part of the abutment was embedded in the ground, while the upper part was constructed with rock facing. The design computation procedure was conducted by using the optimization method. The performance of the geosynthetic-reinforced soil bridge abutment was monitored during construction and loading. The predicted reinforcement loads, according to the guidelines, were compared to the measured reinforcement loads. The field-measured loads were smaller than those predicted by the design method.
