This program will provide an overview of Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil, Integrated Bridge System (GRS-IBS) and is promoted by the Federal Highway Administration to accelerate construction time and offer significant cost savings for the construction of local, county and state bridges. Segmental Retaining Wall (SRW) facing elements, along with geosynthetic reinforcement material, is proving to be a viable solution for a majority of the bridges known to be structurally deficient. The presentation addresses the design concept, key materials, specifications and important construction details. A case study example illustrating the construction sequence is also provided.

Presented by various experts on behalf of Oldcastle APG.
